This code came in a file and I didn't change anything about it except the indentation and I did that using PyCharm (not manually). I checked this code many times and everything seems to be fine indentation wise.

'''
CHECKING INPUT
When the player is guessing, we want to only read letters, so we need to check
if it's valid input. We can use
"isalpha():"
to check for letters.
We also need to check if the input was greater than 1 letter. If it's greater
than 1, it's invallid input. In addition, if the player already guessed a letter,
that is also improper input
'''
validGuess = False
guess = ""
while (not validGuess):
guess = input("Enter a letter to guess")
if (not guess.isalpha()): # input has invalid characters in it (not just letters)
print("Invalid input. Please enter only letters")
elif (len(guess) > 1): # guess is not just a single letter
print("Invalid input. Please enter only a single letter")
elif (guess in guessedLetters): # they have already guessed that letter
print("Invalid input. You have already guessed that letter")
else:
validGuess = True
guessedLetters.append(guess)
return guess
def updateGuessedWord(guess, word_guessed, chosen_word):
'''
Once we have valid input, we need to compare the input to the chosen word.
We'll use a loop to compare the input to the chosen word, which will replace
the '-' characters with letters if the letter belongs in that position.
'''
for i in range(0, len(chosenWord)):
if (chosenWord[i] == guess): # letter @ index i is the letter that was guessed
wordGuessed[i] = guess
pass
def gameOver(wordGuessed, chosenWord):
'''
Finally we'll check if the player has won or not. If the word_guessed variable
does not contain anymore '-' characters, the player has won the game. If there's
still '-' characters, the player hasn't won yet, and we need to ask them to guess
again.

print("Congratulations you win!")

We will create a list of words in a list. Whenever the player wants to
play, we will randomly choose a word from that list for the player to guess.
What other information do we need to store? The letter our player guesses every
turn? Letters the player has chosen already?
Another thing we need to create is the output for the player to see.
If the word is 'tiger', we need to display '-----' and fill in the
letters that our player guesses. If they guess 'i' and 'r', then the
output is '-i--r'. We will update this everytime they take a guess

"computer", "python", "program", "glasses", "sweatshirt",
"sweatpants", "mattress", "friends", "clocks", "biology",
"algebra", "suitcase", "knives", "ninjas", "shampoo"

We'll begin the gameplay down here
We need to create a loop to check 2 things:
1) if there are more than 0 attempts
2) if there are still any '-' characters in our word_guessed variable
Inside the loop, we need to print out the current hangman and tell the player
how many more attempts they have before failing

I'm still pretty new to Python, and I'm pretty bad at running diagnostics. I also can't figure out where to control the debugging step-by-step on PyCharm.
