Guess the word – Python (more guesses than should be)

I am trying to make a game where the user inputs a word with only three guesses available, but instead it keeps allowing four guesses which I don’t want.
When i input a word and my guess_count reaches 3, i am supposed to be sent this msg "You have no more guesses, you lose!" then ask if i want to retry but instead it lets me play one more time thereby exceeding the guess_limit

Here is my code

  secret_word = "loading"
  guess_word = ""
  guess_count = 0


  guess_limit = 3

  end = False

  print("Welcome to the guessing game\nYou have 3 guesses")
  guess_word = input("Enter a word: ")

  def end_msg(msg):
      print(msg)
      retry = input("Do you want to play again? ")  
      if (retry == "yes") :
          global end, guess_word, guess_count
          end = False
          guess_word = ""
          guess_count = 0
          print("Welcome to the guessing game\\nYou have 3 guesses")
          guess_word = input("Enter a word: ")
      else:
          end = True

  while (not(end)) :
      if (guess_word != secret_word and guess_count \< guess_limit):
          guess_count += 1
          print("Incorrect!")
          print("You have " + str(3 - guess_count) + " left!")
          guess_word = input("Try again: ")
      elif (guess_count == 3):
          end_msg("You have no more guesses, you lose!")
      else:
          end_msg("Correct, you win")

>Solution :

You are getting this bug because you wrote guess_limit = 3. You know Programs count from 0, so you need to enter 1 less from your desire try. It should be guess_limit = 2.
And also you wrote elif (guess_count == 3) :, thats mean if guess_count == 3 your will get "You have no more guesses, you lose!" even, user put the right answer. so it should be

elif (guess_word != secret_word and guess_count == 2):

so your final code should be:

secret_word = "loading"
guess_word = ""
guess_count = 0


guess_limit = 2

end = False

print("Welcome to the guessing game\nYou have 3 guesses")
guess_word = input("Enter a word: ")

def end_msg (msg) :
    print(msg)
    retry = input("Do you want to play again? ")
    if (retry == "yes") :
        global end, guess_word, guess_count
        end = False
        guess_word = ""
        guess_count = 0
        print("Welcome to the guessing game\\nYou have 3 guesses")
        guess_word = input("Enter a word: ")
    else:
        end = True

while (not(end)) :
    if (guess_word != secret_word and guess_count < guess_limit) :
        guess_count += 1
        print("Incorrect!")
        print("You have " + str(3 - guess_count) + " left!")
        guess_word = input("Try again: ")
    elif (guess_word != secret_word and guess_count == 2) :
        end_msg("You have no more guesses, you lose!")
    else:
        end_msg("Correct, you win")
