I have a program in which you get a random word, and you have to guess it by typing different letters, and it says if its in the word and in what place. But i can’t seem to figure out how to overlap 2 strings with each other. For example, in my code this error keeps happening: You have the word: apple. And you guess the letter p. So you get as an output ‘pp_’ and then you guess the letter l but instead of saying ‘ppl_’ it just says ‘__l‘.

here is the code:

while True:
    Woord = input('Wat wil je dat het galgje woord wordt: ')
    correct = 0
    superCorrect = len(Woord)
    count = 0
    gokjes = 8
    dood = 0
    geraden_letters = ''
    letterNieuw = ''
    for i in range(20):
        print("")
    x = len(Woord)
    for i in range(x):
        print("_",end=' ')
    for i in range(2):
        print("")
    for i in range(gokjes):
        letter = input('Gok een letter: ')
        if letter == "":
            exit()
        else:
            if letter in Woord:
                count = Woord.count(letter)
                print('Correct')
                for char in Woord:
                    if char == letter:
                        geraden_letters += char
                        correct = correct + 1
                    else:
                        geraden_letters += ''
                print(geraden_letters)
                if correct == superCorrect:
                    print('Het woord was ... ', geraden_letters.upper(),'!')
                    exit()
            else:
                print('Incorrect')
                print(letter)
                dood = 1
    if dood == 1:
        print('Het galgje is dood')
        print("")

tried the letter p, got output ‘pp__’, then tried the letter l, expected output ‘ppl‘, but got ‘__l‘ instead.
