1,645 PointsEvery time I type in python letter_game.py into my workspace, my workspace re-appears blank. What's wrong with my code?
import random
make a list of words
words = ['apple','banana','orange','coconut','strawberry','lime','graepfruit','lemon', 'blueberry', 'melon', 'kumquat']
def game():
while True:
start = input("Press enter/return to start, or enter Q to quit")
if start.lower() == 'q':
break
# pick a random word
secret_word = random.choice(words)
bad_guesses = []
good_guesses = []
while len(bad_guesses) < 7 and len(good_guesses) != len(list(secret_word)):
# draw spaces
for letter in secret_word:
if letter in good_guesses:
print (letter, end='')
else:
print('_', end='')
print('')
print('Strikes: {}/7'.format(len(bag_guessses)))
print('')
# take guess

# draw guessed letters and strikes
