The count variable is giving me a hard time in this code

[D4isyy]

from random import randrange

def toohigh():
	# displays too high sequence
	count += 1
	return('Too high! Try again. ')
	guess = input('Guess my number between 1 and 1000. ')
	play()
	
def toolow():
	# displays too low sequence
	count += 1
	return('Too low! Try again. ')
	guess = input('Guess my number between 1 and 1000. ')
	play()

def correct():
	# displays correct sequence
	count += 1
	return('Congrats! That was the correct number!')
	if count <= 10:
		return('It took you ', str(count), 'guesses.' 'You either know the secret or got lucky.')
	if count > 10:
		return('It took you ', str(count), 'guesses.' 'I think you can do better than that.')
	playagain()

def playagain():
	playagain = input('Would you like to play again? y/n ')
	if playagain == 'y':
		play()
		count = 0
	if playagain == 'n':
		return('Bye!')
		count = 0
	else:
		return('Please answer y or n')
		playagain()

def play():
	# plays game
	count = 0
	x = randrange(1000)
	guess = int(input('Guess my number between 1 and 1000. '))
	while guess != x:
		if int(guess) > x:
			toohigh()
		if guess < x:
			toolow()
		if guess == x:
			correct()

play()
