Guess the word game help

[Pedroski55]

I think you need to work with lists, strings are difficult! Using ''.join(alist) you can turn the list back into a word.

See if you can complete this:

import random 
  
words = ['accept', 'acting', 'advice', 'beauty',  
         'python', 'before', 'player', 'beyond',  
         'artist', 'branch', 'boards', 'branch']    
 
word = random.choice(words)
wordlist = [ch for ch in word]
print('The word is', len(word), 'letters long ... ')
hintlist = ['*' for ch in word]
aguess = input('Enter a character or a whole word. ')
if aguess == word:
    print('You guessed it! The word was', word)
else:
    for i in range(len(wordlist)):

What should be in the loop?
