The word was:" , words[i]) </code></pre> <p>Just started on this Hangman program in python. I'm doing this on a step by step based on a set of instructions and I'm at the point where I want to write some simple code that checks whether the letter entered is found in the chosen word at all. I'm ignoring the position of the matches, only concerned with counting the number of bad guesses. So far so good it seems, but I've encountered a small but big (if that makes sense) problem. On the sixth <strong>bad</strong> guess I want the loop to finish and let the user know that they failed and the computer won. I noticed that in my case the loop finishes once the user has entered their sixth guess, whether it be bad or good. So if the word is 'fairy' or whatever, no matter how many correct letters that the user guessed the loop will finish regardless on their 6th go. I want the loop to finish only when the user has entered six bad guesses, so in the example of the word 'fairy' if the user inputs 'f' which would be correct and if the next six guesses are incorrect the "failure" message will be printed as opposed to what I have now.</p>

    1. COHow about you count the correct and incorrect guesses separately?

    2. COJon Clements is right. You're counting guesses period, not only bad guesses. You need to not increment the guess variable when the letter is in the word.
