Syntax Error on Letter Game

File "letter_game.py", line 31 print(letter, end='') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I am copying the game from the video into Notepad++ and this is what I get when I try to run the program. The syntax error is pointing at the end=' '. Did I do something wrong?

Hi Christopher, at the end of 'end' key word there must be single or double cote notation. So there will be either ..

 print(letter, end=" ")

or,

 print(letter, end=' ')

Are you sure that you are using python 3.x? This syntax is not available in 2.x python because print is a statement.

Try this: print letter,

It will use space instead of new line ending.
