无法解决此“其他”语句错误

Question

the second "else" statement gives a syntax error. I don't understand why. what is wrong with the code? Pardon me, still a beginner

while True:
guess = input("Guess a letter or the whole word: ")

if guess == word:
    print("Yaye, you've won and have saved my neck!")
    break

else:
    for letter in letters:
        if letter in letters:
            continue
else:
    guesses -= 1
    word_guess(guesses)

if guesses == 0:
    break

Answer 1

You can see in the Python 3 flow control documentation an example of an if statement. It can only have one else statement because that is what is run when all other cases ( if and elif ) didn't match. When are you expecting the second else to run?

Answer 2

As was pointed out in another answer, indentation in python matters .

Is this perhaps the indentation you are looking for?

while True:
    guess = input("Guess a letter or the whole word: ")

    if guess == word:
        print("Yaye, you've won and have saved my neck!")
        break
    else:
        for letter in letters:
            if letter in letters:
                continue
            else:
                guesses -= 1
                word_guess(guesses)

            if guesses == 0:
                break
