Courses Plus Student 13,800 Points@Hinh Phan, you have the right code the only thing you need to do is check your list again you will notice that there is something missing on purple(,)melon(,)and lemon(,) hopefully this helps
Hinh Phan
2,564 PointsThat's help. The code run. But the (end string doesn't seem work) If it is right, should be print for instance every time guessing the right letter e_ _a __n And when all the letters are guessed, the loop doesn't break.
