It pays to read the traceback carefully, this one is giving you a lot of good clues. First, the error is at line 5. This is the *first* line with "guessed.append(guess)", not the one you have commented. Second, the error message is that 'guessed' is referenced before assignment. Where is 'guessed' assigned? Two lines later, on line 7 with "guessed=[]" Do you know how to fix it now?
