trying to add "last chance" massage to number game

Hi ! I am trying to write a message to appear after the 4th guessed number to say that you just have one more chance . can anyone help with it ? this is my code 

 import random 

rand_num = random.randint(1,10)
gussed_nums = []
allowed_guesses = 5
last_chance = 4

while len(gussed_nums) < allowed_guesses:
  guess = input("guess a number between 1 and 10: ")

  try:
    player_num = int(guess)
  except:
    print("thats not a whole number!")
    break

  if not player_num > 0 or not player_num < 11:
    print("that number is not between 1 and 10 ")
    break

  gussed_nums.append(player_num)

  if player_num == rand_num:
    print("You win! my number was {}.".format(rand_num))
    print("it took you {} tries." .format(len(gussed_nums)))
    break
  else:
    if rand_num > player_num:
      print("my number is higher than{}. Guess# {} ".format(player_num, len(gussed_nums)))
    else:
      if len(gussed_nums) == last_chance :
        print("your last chance")   
      else:
        print("nope! my number is lower than {}. Guess# {} ".format(player_num , len(gussed_nums)))
        continue


if not rand_num in gussed_nums:
  print("sorry ! my number was {}.".format(rand_num))

guess = input("guess a number between 1 and 10: ")

I'd maybe put it up above input?

if len(guessed_nums) ==  allowed_guesses - 1:

     print("This is your last guess")

After looking at it some more, it looks like its never getting to that statement.

Try moving it:

if rand_num > player_num:

     print("my number is higher than{}. Guess# {} ".format(player_num, len(gussed_nums)))

else:

     print("nope! my number is lower than {}. Guess# {} ".format(player_num , len(gussed_nums)))

     continue

if len(gussed_nums) == last_chance:

     print("your last chance")
