I'm programming a custom Python Wordle game. It was working great, until I came across this issue.
For example, when the correct word to guess is "NANNY" and the user guesses "DEALT" it works perfectly; D, E, L, and T are considered grey letters and A is considered a yellow letter:

However, when the user guesses a word like "NORTH" I get the following error:
File "C:\Users\hasee\OneDrive\Documents\wordle unlimited\main.py", line 123, in <module>

raise ValueError(
ValueError: Row has incorrect number of values, (actual) 3!=5 (expected)
I expected it to show 'N' as green, and the rest grey. I went through guessed_word_colors() and couldn't work out why this error is happening.
Here's a cleaned up version of your code that works. Note that I have removed the prettytable stuff, but it should be easy for you to add this in:
def ask_guessed_word():
return input("Type in your word: ").upper()
def get_guessed_word_colors(guessed_word, selected_word):
letter_index_pairs = ['']*len(selected_word)
selected_word = list(selected_word)
# Getting all the green letters from the word first
for i in range(len(selected_word)):
if guessed_word[i] == selected_word[i]:
selected_word[i] = "-" # replacing the green letters to dashes so that yellow letters can't pair with them
letter_index_pairs[i] = "[[" + guessed_word[i] + "]]"
# This loop will get all the yellow and gray letters from the word next
for i in range(len(selected_word)):
if guessed_word[i] in selected_word: # yellow letter checking
letter_index_pairs[i] = " [" + guessed_word[i] + "] "
elif selected_word[i] != '-':
letter_index_pairs[i] = " " + guessed_word[i] + " "
return letter_index_pairs
def get_game_table():
return []
def add_guessed_word_to_table(table, guessed_word_colors):

table.append(guessed_word_colors)
for row in table:
print(row)
def is_correct_word(guessed_word, selected_word):
return selected_word == guessed_word
def game():
print("Welcome to Wordle Unlimited!")
selected_word = "NANNY"
table = get_game_table()
for chance_number in range(6):
guessed_word = ask_guessed_word()
guessed_word_colors = get_guessed_word_colors(guessed_word, selected_word)
