I need help with a function that loops the input turn to the number of lives. For the code below 👇

Question

import random
name = ['deafening', 'frequently', 'ancient']
def guess():
word = random.choice(name)
count= len(word)
lives= len(word)-1
print(str(count) + '*Letters in the word')

turn1=input('Enter a letter you think is in the word then press Enter!......?')
if turn1 in word:
print('correct')
print('Positiont' + str(word.index(turn1)))
print('Next letter?')

else:
print('wrong')
print('Try again!')
print(str(lives) + '*Lives left')

guess()

Answer 1

That should get you started.

def guess():
word = random.choice(name)
count = len(word)
lives = len(word) - 1
print(str(count) + '*Letters in the word')

while lives > 0:
turn1 = input('Enter a letter you think is in the word then press Enter!......? ')
if turn1 in word:
print('correct')
print('Position ' + str(word.index(turn1) + 1)) # Added 1 to position for clarity
print('Next letter?')

else:
print('wrong')
print('Try again!')
print(str(lives) + '*Lives left')
lives -= 1 # subtract 1 when they get it wrong

guess() # fixed indenting here so it wasn't part of the else block
