simple word guessing game python

This is a tidbit of my RabbitHole I'm making for class.

It is a flawed game, but it works.  I don't want to make it too complicated at the moment, but here is a simple word guessing game:

def word_game(self):

borders.horizon()

print("\tWord game start.....Type 'quit' to exit game.")

print("\tYou will be told when you get a correct letter.")

print("\tTo guess the whole word, type in the whole word.")

print("\tGuess my 7 letter word!")

count = 0

word = ['c','a','r','r','o','t','s']

correct = 'carrots'

correct_letters = []

play_game = True

while play_game:

guess = input("\t Your Guess = : ")

if guess == 'quit':

print("............ ok, another time ........")

exit(0)

elif guess == correct:

print("\t>>>>>> You got my Carrots! <<<<<<")

print(f" ------- number of guesses = {count} ---------")

play_game = False

elif guess in word:

correct_letters.append(guess)

print("?" * 63)

print(f"\tCorrect letters = {correct_letters}")

count += 1

elif guess not in word:

count += 1

print("\tOne letter at a time, or the whole correct word.")

print(" \t\t~~~~~~~ NOPE ~~~~~~~~")

else:

print("That will not work. Try again")
