So after the user either wins or loses, they get asked if they want to play again (Y/N).

Here 3 things that are supposed to happen:

They type Y and they start a new game.

They type N and the game closes.

They type a different character, in which case they get the message: Please type a valid answer. (Y/N), and they get asked if they want to play again

When the user loses and they get asked to play again, all three of the criteria above work. However, when the user wins and is asked to play again, only the invalid character message works. When they type Y, they get put in a new game except the letters you have already guessed don't reset after one guess, the word is revealed instantly and they 'win' again (you're 'guesses left' also don't reset). When they type N, then the game continues.

I have absolutely no clue of whats going on because I used the same code for each scenario (user wins or user loses):

        playagain = input('Wanna play again? (Y/N) ').upper()
        if playagain == 'Y':
            word = random.choice(wordbank)
        elif playagain == 'N':
            print('Alright, goodbye.')
        while playagain != 'Y' and playagain != 'N':
            print('Please type a valid answer. (Y/N)')
            print()
            playagain = input('Wanna play again? (Y/N) ').upper()

Here's my whole gamecode:

# importing wordbank
import random
from wordbankcool import wordbank

# hangman graphics
hangman_graphics = ['_',
                    '__',
                    '__\n |',
                    '__\n |\n O',
                    '__\n |\n O\n |',
                    '__\n |\n O\n/|',
                    '__\n |\n O\n/|\ ',
                    '__\n |\n O\n/|\ \n/',
                    '__\n |\n O\n/|\ \n/ \ '
                    ]

# code is inside while loop
playagain = 'Y'
while playagain == 'Y':

    # alphabet
    alphabet = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l',

    # basic functions of the game

        print()
        print('-------------------------------------------')  # seperator

    # ending: user wins
        if len(letters_guessed) == len(letters_word):
            print()
            print(f'You won! The word was {word}!')
            print()

CodePudding user response：

The block that checks for the player winning is inside the while loop that has the condition mistakes < mistakes_allowed. Since that condition remains true and there is no break statement, it just continues to repeat from there rather than getting back out far enough to repeat the whole playagain == 'Y' loop. You either need to change that loop condition or add a break statement.
