3,188 PointsGetting a syntax error
I can't fathom the cause of the syntax error. Help would be appreciated. line 31 print(letter, end='') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
words = [ 'apple' 'banana' 'orange' 'coconut' 'strawberry' 'lime' 'grapfruit' 'lemon' 'blueberry' 'melon' ]
while True: start = input("Press enter/return to start, or enter Q to quit") if start.lower() == 'q': break secret_word = random.choice(words) bad_guesses = [] good_guesses = []
while len(bad_guesses) < 7 and len(good_guesses) != len(list(secret_word)):
for letter in secret_word:
if letter in good_guesses:
print(letter, end='')
else:
print('_', end='')
print('')
print('Strikes: {}/7'.format(len(bad_guesses)))
print('')
guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()
if len(guess) != 1:
print("You've already guess that letter!")
continue
elif guess in bad_guesses or guess in good_guesses:
print("You've already guess that letter!")
continue
elif not guess.isalpha():
print("You can only guess letters!")
continue
if guess in secret_word:
good_guesses.append(guess)
if len(good_guesses) == (len(list(secret_word))):
print("You win! The word was {}".format(secret_word))
break
else:
bad_guesses.append(guess)
else:
print("You didn't guess it! My secret word was{}".format(secret_word))

3,188 PointsNot really. I am using python 3. It is giving me an indentation error now
if letter in good_guesses:
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

24,888 PointsSeems to be working here: https://repl.it/KEcG/0
In which environment are you running your code?

3,188 PointsTerminal with python 2.7 and 3.6 installed. I fiddled around with it and tried removing 2.7 with sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Python 2.7" and it completely stopped working. Using idle now and running module from there and it works
