``` print("strikes : {}/7".format(len(bad_guesses))

is missing a closing parenthesis.

I know you're probably asking more about the function of the code, but if you fix that syntax error your REPL will show you more specific errors related to your actual code function.  Also, it looks like your markdown is broken because it's breaking mine ^^
