If all guesses are wrong and correctGuess stays false is the last if statment not saying correctGuess is false?

If all guesses are wrong and correctGuess stays false is the last if statment not saying correctGuess is false? Meaning if the two chances to guess still fail correctGuess never becomes true meaning the last if statment means correctGuess is false and so would say the answer is correct if all guesses are wrong?

If the two chances to guess are wrong, you are correct that correctGuess remains "false". The last if statement tests the condition if correctGuess is "true"...if it is, it displays the success message. If not, the "Sorry..." message will be written.
