AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'readline'

I am trying to make a hangman game in python but i get the attribute error in my title. this is my code

I have no idea what might be causing this attribute error in my code. I think it might have something to do with my code not having the correct naming or it might be how i defined in-File

import random
import string


WORDLIST_FILENAME = "words.txt"


def load_words(inFile=0):
    """
    Returns a list of valid words. Words are strings of lowercase letters.

    Depending on the size of the word list, this function may
    take a while to finish.
    :param inFile:
    """
    
    print("Loading word list from file...")
    # inFile: file
    open('words.txt', 'r')

    # line: string
    line = inFile.readline()
    # wordlist: list of strings
    words = line.split()
    print("  ", len(words), "words loaded.")
    return words

Error:

File "C:)Users\ ManyDog\ PycharmProjects\ hangman\main.py", line 49, in <module>
    wordlist = load_words ()
File "C:)Users\ ManyDog\PycharmProjects\hangman\main.py", line 27, in Load_words
    line = inFile. readline ()
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'readline'

>Solution :

You default inFile to an int but then try to use it as a file object. Internal to the function, you open a file but since you don’t use its returned file object, it is immediately closed.

Instead, read the opened file. In this example, I’ve used your hard coded file name as a default for the function.

def load_words(inFile="words.txt"):
    """
    Returns a list of valid words. Words are strings of lowercase letters.

    Depending on the size of the word list, this function may
    take a while to finish.
    :param inFile:
    """
    
    print("Loading word list from file...")
    # inFile: file
    with open(inFile) as fileObj:
        # line: string
        line = fileObj.readline()
    words = line.split()
    print("  ", len(words), "words loaded.")
    return words
