[Solved] Python simple code i cant fix help1!1

Question

This should fix it:

def print_guessed(secret_word):
    return '-'*len(secret_word)

The problem with your code is that you are trying to modify a string by its index. However str object in Python is not mutable. You have to construct a new string.

Note that this function returns the same result as other people have proposed. However it is much simpler (and may be faster) as it does not require looping.
