1,055 PointsThe program keep asking to "guess a letter"
That happen when a word has more than "p" f.ex. Here is the code:
import random
words = ["banana", "apple", "car", "glasses"]
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 guessed letters, spaces, and strikes
for letter in secret_word:
if letter in good_guesses:
print(letter, end='')
else:
print('_',end='')
print('')
print('Strikes: {}/7'.format((len(bad_guesses))))
# take guess
guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()
if len(guess) != 1:
print("You can only guess one letter!")
continue
elif guess in bad_guesses or guess in good_guesses:
print("You have already guessed that letter!")
continue
elif not guess.isalpha():
print("You can only guess letters!")
continue
if guess in secret_word:
good_guesses.append(guess)
if len(good_guesses) == len(list(secret_word)):
print("Woho! you guessed the word! the word was {}".format(secret_word))
break
else:
bad_guesses.append(guess)
else:
print("You didn't guess it! My secret word was {}".format(secret_word))

9,337 PointsThe problem is with printing the strikes. It should be: print('Strikes: {}/7'.format(len(bad_guesses))) Instead of what you have which is: print('Strikes: {}/7'.format((len(bad_guesses))))
