else condition not called when if condition is false

[Sandz1286]

@deanhystad thanks for code. I m still understanding the functions and parameters in it. its pretty awesome. i was having trouble using strings.

as for my code, i removed index function from the if condition and rewrote the code. its working now. Both errors are addressed.

print("=====Hangman =====\nGuess the letters to fill the blanks")
w = ["f", "l", "a", "m", "e", "s"]
b = ["_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_"]
wrong = 0

while b != w and wrong <6:
    print(b)
    x = input("Enter your guess:  ")
    if x in w:
        i = w.index(x)
        b[i] = x
    else:
        wrong += 1
        print("Wrong guesses : " + str(wrong))
        if wrong == 6:
            print("Your are out of guesses")
if b == w:
    print(b)
    print("\n You Win !!")

Output:
