Clearing input from C program
12:21 11 Aug 2022

Is there a way to either;
(1) Clear any input from the terminal
(2) take input without the input being saved to the terminal
For example, in this program I enter a string and it checks if any of the letters are the same. Ideally I would want the input string to be cleared so that the hashtags form a rectangle by the 5th guess. I am aware that clearing the entire terminal and reprinting all the rows is an option but I would much rather just clear the line of input after every guess (if this is possible).
