Python Help - Guessing Game

[JamieT]

Hi all, you will have to excuse me, I am new to Python and have been learning over the past 2 days.

I have coded a basic guessing game and have a slight error.


First of all, I got the game to work perfectly as shown below;

secret_word = "spice"
guess = ""
guess_count = 0
guess_limit = 5
out_of_guesses = False

while guess != secret_word and not (out_of_guesses):
    if guess_count < guess_limit:
        guess = input("Enter your guess: ")
        guess_count += 1
    else: out_of_guesses = True

if out_of_guesses:
    print("Out of Guesses, YOU LOSE!")
else:
    print("YOU WIN!")

I then wanted to advance and interact more by saying "this is your first guess" which works perfectly.

I then tried to add in, "This is your last guess" which doesn't work in the correct way, it continues to offer me to answer, unless I guess correct then it will display "YOU WIN!"

Code shown below;

secret_word = "spice"
guess = ""
guess_count = 0
guess_limit = 5
out_of_guesses = False

guess = input("Enter your first guess: ")
while guess != secret_word and not (out_of_guesses):
    if guess_count < guess_limit:
        guess = input("Enter another guess: ")
        guess_count += 1
    elif guess != secret_word and not (out_of_guesses):
        guess = input("Enter your last attempt: ")
    else: out_of_guesses = True

if out_of_guesses:
    print("Out of Guesses, YOU LOSE!")
else:
    print("YOU WIN!")

Can anybody advise, I will be very grateful.

Cheers Guys!!
