Number Game "Play again" question after guessing correct number?

By copy/paste "Play again" code and place it under guess == secret_number like following:

if guess == secret_number:
                print("Correct guessed, my number was {}".format(guess))
                play_again = input("Play again? Y/n: ")
                if play_again.lower() != 'n':
                    game()

You get the question to replay if you guess correct within 5 tries.

Is there a better way to code it? For example making a function of "play_again"? How would that then look like?

[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

A function might be overkill here. But you can save a step (and a variable) like this:

if guess == secret_number:
    print("Correct guessed, my number was {}".format(guess))
    if input("Play again? Y/n: ").lower() != 'n':
        game()
