Python Hangman Game Program Error

Gulshan Negi 411 11 May 2023

Hello this is Gulshan Negi

Well, I am writing a program for making Hangman  Game in Python but it shows some error at the time of its execution.

Here is my source code

import random
import time
import os


def play_again():
  question = 'Do You want to play again? y = yes, n = no \n'
  play_game = input(question)
  while play_game.lower() not in ['y', 'n']:
      play_game = input(question)

  if play_game.lower() == 'y':
      return True
  else:
      return False


def hangman(word):
  display = '_' * len(word)
  count = 0
  limit = 5
  letters = list(word)
  guessed = []
  while count < limit:
      guess = input(f'Hangman Word: {display} Enter your guess: \n').strip()
      while len(guess) == 0 or len(guess) > 1:
          print('Invalid input. Enter a single letter\n')
          guess = input(
              f'Hangman Word: {display} Enter your guess: \n').strip()

      if guess in guessed:
          print('Oops! You already tried that guess, try again!\n')
          continue

      if guess in letters:
          letters.remove(guess)
          index = word.find(guess)
          display = display[:index] + guess + display[index + 1:]

      else:
          guessed.append(guess)
          count += 1
          if count == 1:
              time.sleep(1)
              print('   _____ \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'

                    '__|__\n')
              print(f'Wrong guess: {limit - count} guesses remaining\n')

          elif count == 2:
              time.sleep(1)
              print('   _____ \n'
                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '__|__\n')
              print(f'Wrong guess: {limit - count} guesses remaining\n')

          elif count == 3:
              time.sleep(1)
              print('   _____ \n'
                    '  |     | \n'

                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '__|__\n')
              print(f'Wrong guess: {limit - count} guesses remaining\n')

          elif count == 4:
              time.sleep(1)
              print('   _____ \n'
                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |     O \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '  |      \n'
                    '__|__\n')
              print(f'Wrong guess: {limit - count} guesses remaining\n')

          elif count == 5:
              time.sleep(1)
              print('   _____ \n'
                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |     | \n'
                    '  |     O \n'
                    '  |    /|\ \n'
                    '  |    / \ \n'
                    '__|__\n')
              print('Wrong guess. You\'ve been hanged!!!\n')
              print(f'The word was: {word}')

      if display == word:
          print(f'Congrats! You have guessed the word \'{word}\' correctly!')
          break


def play_hangman():
   print('\nWelcome to Hangman\n')
   name = input('Enter your name: ')
   print(f'Hello {name}! Best of Luck!')
   time.sleep(1)
   print('The game is about to start!\nLet\'s play Hangman!')
   time.sleep(1)
   os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')

   words_to_guess = [
       'january', 'border', 'image', 'film', 'promise', 'kids',
       'lungs', 'doll', 'rhyme', 'damage', 'plants', 'hello', 'world'
   ]
   play = True:
   while play:
       word = random.choice(words_to_guess)
       hangman(word)
       play = play_again()

   print('Thanks For Playing! We expect you back again!')
   exit()


if __name__ == '__main__':
  play_hangman()

Well, I also checked and took a reference from here. Can anyone give their suggestions on this?

Thanks
