C :: Create Separate Array That Consists Of The Same Number

I working on a big program, and it involves character arrays. What I want my function to do is create a seperate array that consists of the same number of "*" as there are letters in the word from the text file. For example, if the word sarc was up, the function show make ****. This was my attempt at it. I managed to reach this far. I can only fit in one "*". This is part of jumble game program I'm trying to make, and its in C language.

insert Code: void partialWord(char current[]){
int n;
int i;
n = strlen(current);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++){
current[i] = strcpy(current,"*");
}
printf("%s
", current);
}
