How do I do if word_pick not == random_choice?

for x in (color1 + "Hi,\nThis is a word guessing game, you will have to guess the answer from 100 words.\nYou will have 45 chances to guess the number. You initially start with 225 points.

    sys.stdout.write(x)
    sys.stdout.flush()
    time.sleep(0.01)

time.sleep(2)

word_pick = input(color4 + "Pick a random word from the above list: ")

random_choice = random.choice(words)

chances = 45
score = 225

if word_pick.upper() or word_pick.lower() or word_pick.title() not random_choice:
    print("Congrats, you have picked the right word.")

if word_pick.upper() or word_pick.lower() or word_pick.title() == random_choice:
    print("Congrats, you have picked the right word.")

I am talking about the first if statement, how do i do not == random_choice ??? So i wanna do if word_pick is not in random_choice, then minus the score by 5

PLZ HELPP

Answer 1

I suggest either only checking for the lowercase version of the word, or checking strictly.

PENALTY = 5
if word_pick.lower() == random_choice:
    # guess is right
    print("Congrats")
else:
    # guess isn't right
    print("You have failed")
    score -= PENALTY

If you want to test all possible versions separately, you can put them into a list and use the in operator.

if random_choice in [word_pick.lower(), word_pick.upper(), word_pick.title()]:
    # guess is right
