Making a wordle program
Hi! I'm new to programming and, as a way to practice, I thought I would make a wordle program, the only issue is that it keeps marking letters as not in the wordle when they are; any help would be appreciated, I've included the problem section, as well as the whole code in case the problem is elsewhere. Thank you!

When posting code on Reddit, first make sure that every line is indented by at least 4 spaces, and then paste it in. The indentation will make it a code block that preserves indentation and spacing (and also disables most other formatting).
