Word guessing game – how to print blanks

I am having trouble with making a guessing game. When you guess a correct letter it prints out the letter but not the blanks ().
I want it to look like this:
(guessed o)–> _ o _ _ _
I am also wondering how to keep the guessed letter in after its turn.
like this:
_ o _ _ e _

    #Question 3 - Strings 
    #get guess from user
    print("Hello user! Would you like to guess what word I am thinking of? You may guess one letter at a time!")
    print("You also only have 10 guesses!")
    secret = "monkey"
    blanks = ["_"]*len(secret)
    print(*blanks)
    count = 10 

    while count > 0: 
        guess = input("What letter would you like to guess?")
        #check if the letter is in the word
        if guess in secret:
            location = secret.find(guess)
            newBlanks = secret[location] 
            print (newBlanks)
            count = count - 1
        #if NOT tell the player it isn't in the word
        else:
            print ("that letter is not in the word")
            count = count - 1

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

>Solution :

You did not update blanks when a correct guess is made. This is why your guess isn’t being saved/displayed.

Code:

#Question 3 - Strings 
#get guess from user
print("Hello user! Would you like to guess what word I am thinking of? You may guess one letter at a time!")
print("You also only have 10 guesses!")
secret = "monkey"
blanks = ["_"]*len(secret)
print(*blanks)
count = 10 

while count > 0: 
    # if user guessed all letters, they win!
    if "".join(blanks) == secret:
        print("You win!")
        break
    guess = input("What letter would you like to guess?")
    #check if the letter is in the word
    if guess in secret:
        location = secret.find(guess)
        # store correct guess
        blanks[location] = guess
        # output new blanks -> sample: _ o _ _ _ _
        print(" ".join(blanks))
        count = count - 1
    #if NOT tell the player it isn't in the word
    else:
        print ("that letter is not in the word")
        count = count - 1

I also added a message to be printed when the user guesses the whole word.

Happy coding!
