How to make an AJAX request to get a word and store the variable globally

Question

I need to make an AJAX request to API to get the word for a hangman game. Also struggling, on reading the word length and displaying it with placeholders. I referenced this link enter link description here , but am still stuck.

//function to get the word from the API using AJAX
  jQuery.extend({
getValues: function(url) {
    var result = null;
    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        type: 'get',
        dataType: 'xml',
        async: false,
        success: function(data) {
            result = data;
        }
    });
   return result;
}
});

//accessing global variable (word)
var results = $.getValues("https://hangman-api.lively.software");
  for (var i < 0; i < word.length; i++) {
    results[i] = "_";
  }
