How to turn a closure into a decorator

Question

I have the feeling, decorator and closure are very similar in Python.
But I don't get the transformation.
Can someone transform this code to decorator please?

Answer 1

My solution to your request.

The decorator (calculateScores) uses score as the wrapper function.
And put the initial values and user input in a new function initializeBoard.
Both initializeBoard and score returns a tuple storing the initial values and updated values respectively.
Values being (word, wordList, result, and initials)

Hope it helps, let me know either way.
