Syntax error

I am getting a syntax error on my very last line with the word guess. Anyone know why?

import random

words = [
'apple',
'lemon',
'banana',
'orange',
'watermelon',
'coconut',
'strawberry',
'pineapple'
]



while True:
    start = input("Press return/enter to start, Q to quit")

    if start.lower() == 'q':
        break


    secret_word = random.choice(words)
    bad_guesses = []
    good_guesses = []


    while len(bad_guesses) < 7 and len(good_guesses) != len(list(secret_word)):

        for letter in secret_word:

            if letter in good_guesses:
                print(letter, end='')
            else: print('_')

        print('Strikes: {}/7'.format(len(bad_guesses))


    guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()

Code runs here. is just not doing anything because it's incomplete.
