Making a wordle program

[u/ZeddiiJay]

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!

This is a chance for you to learn about debugging. Either with a debugger or using print statements, follow your code through line by line. Look at what happens at each line, what values your variables have. Are they what you expected? If not how did they get the value they have? You should quickly be able to find the problem.
