How to make a type of c# console application where a bool value is used to detect If a certain word is written in the console

Well, I know the basics of code. like how to use Console.WriteLine and ReadLine. I know how to set a string value using console.readline. I've already created a program that asks for a name, gender and age and then displays it. But what I really want to know is how to make a program that tells you something like "What's the magic word?" And you have to guess. And I want to use a bool value to detect if a certain word is typed like "strawberry" and then it tells you a password to an account or something like that.
But when I tried to search it and find a tutorial on it, there was nothing. Absolutely nothing. It all had complicated crap like the bool of c<}|£\€\$/9!$299 is not then do $:()|\|*]!|+ and stuff like that. if you know anywhere where I can find a tutorial to that, please help.

What do you mean by it: "c<}|£\€\$/9!$299" ?

It's not totally clear what your problem is, but does this help?

C#

while (true)
{
    Console.Write("What's the magic word? ");
    string word = Console.ReadLine();
    if (word == "shazam")
    {
    	Console.WriteLine("You guessed it!");
        break;
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Sorry, try again!");
        // you could also add a counter so it terminates
        // the program after a certain number of failures.
    }
}
// user correctly entered the magic word so continue here ...
