CodePudding user response：

You have an extra space at the beginning of line 2 and it goes til while condition. You can just remove all spaces and try again. This should work

secret_word = "apple"
guess = ""
guess_count = 0
guess_limit = 3
guess_finished = False
while guess != secret_word and not(guess_finished):

     if guess_count < guess_limit:
         guess = input("Enter a word: ")
         guess_count  = 1
     else:
         guess_finished = True      

if guess_finished:
    print("You lose")
else:
    print("you win!")

All the indents look normal to me, this looks like a syntax error. I think the ' ` ' char does not belong there after the 'else:' in line 19

Try this code, it works for me...

secret_word = "apple"
guess = ""
guess_count = 0
guess_limit = 3
guess_finished = False
while guess != secret_word and not(guess_finished):
    if guess_count < guess_limit:
        guess = input("Enter a word: ")
        guess_count  = 1
    else:
        guess_finished = True
    
if guess_finished:  
    print("You lose")
else: 
    print("you win!")

This worked for me

secret_word = "apple"

guess = ""

guess_count = 0

guess_limit = 3

guess_finished = False

while guess != secret_word and not(guess_finished):

    if guess_count < guess_limit:

        guess = input("Enter a word: ")

        guess_count  = 1

    else:
        guess_finished = True
        

if guess_finished:
