231,261 PointsYou're close, it just needs a few minor fixups.
When a card is not matched in create_row:
row.append(' ') # same number of spaces an item would take
Then in create_grid:
print_row = f'{row} | ' # adjust spacing
get_row = self.create_row(row)
print_row += ' | '.join(get_row) + ' |' # eliminate extra bar and adjust spacing
print(print_row) # and remember to print the row!
Then finally:
# print(game.create_row(1)) <- none of these are needed because create_grid does it
# print(game.create_row(2))
# print(game.create_row(3))
# print(game.create_row(4))
