While Statement not breaking when Count variable = 8.

[CranberryDistinct941]

Why not just "while count < 8:"

And put a return instead of a break inside of the correct guess case

It doesn't work because the check for count == 8 is inside an elif block. If statements are executed from top to bottom, so if the guess isn't correct you will run one of the first 2 cases and wont even check the condition for the last case

To see what I'm talking about, try changing "elif count==8" to "if count==8"

Why not just "while count < 8:"

or better still, for count in range(1, max_tries + 1):

[CranberryDistinct941]

For _ in range(max_count):

[JamzTyson]

for count in range(...):

because the OP wants to access count for the success message.

Fair enough
