Seems like a good time to mention the Maybe monad looks like it would be a
good fit here.
score :: String -> String -> Maybe String
score s [] = Nothing
score s g =
if valid 4 g
then let s1 = "Golds "
s2 = show (gold s g)
s3 = ", Silvers "
s4 = show (silver s g)
in Just (s1 ++ s2 ++ s3 ++ s4)
else Just "Bad Guess"
