I've been trying to make a check for if the input (guesses) belongs to the alphabet and if it's a single character for my simple hangman game, but when I try to run the program it just ignores the entire if sentence. It's been working everywhere else and I just can't find the source of the problem. Here is my code:
def eng():
letter_list = []
global word
global letter
g = 0
lives = 10
while True:
word = input("Insert The Word: ")
if not word.isalpha():
print("Only letters of the English alphabet are allowed")
else:
print(letter)
break
cls = lambda: print('\n' * 256)
cls()
ready_letters = list(set(word.lower()))
while True:
q = len(ready_letters)
print(q)
while True:
letter = input("Your guess: ")
if not letter.isalpha() and len(letter) != 1:
print("You can make a guess with only one letter of the English alphabet")
else:
break
print(letter_list)
if letter in ready_letters and letter not in letter_list:
letter_list += letter
print("Nice")
g += 1
if g == q:
print(f"The word was: {word}")
print("GG, 🎉🎊")
print("\n")
return
print(f"{g}/{q} letters guessed correctly!")
elif letter in letter_list:
print("You already wrote this letter, try again")
else:
letter_list += letter
print("Oh noie")
lives -= 1
print(f"You have {lives} lives left")
if lives == 0:
print("GG, 웃💀")
return

General tips not related to the issue would also be appreciated. Thanks for your time!
Simple mistake, instead of using and you should be using or. You want to print our your error message if they type a non-alpha character OR they type more than one letter.
