I'm super excited to share my hangman game with you. (haven't added the graphics yet...)

I will be using this program as my final project (for school), but I would like to have this polished before handing it in. I have given my program the limit of 7 attempts, but if the user continues to guess the wrong letters and then suddenly guesses the right letter, the attempt count stays where it's at. 

Here's the problem:

Let's say the word the computer has chosen is 'cougar' (I'm going to pretend I don't actually know this).

BTW this is on my console:

 Guess the word: ______
 7 chances left
 
 a # <-- my input (1st actual input)
 Yes! a is in the word!
 
 Guess the word: ____a_
 7 chances left

 b # <-- my input (2nd actual input)
 Sorry, b is not in the word. Try again.
 
 Guess the word: ____a_
 6 chances left
 
 b # <-- my input (this was just to test out if my program would let me know that I have repeated a letter)
 You already guessed b. Please try another one!
 
 Guess the word: ____a_
 6 chances left
 
 t # <-- my input (3rd actual input)
 Sorry, t is not in the word. Try again.
 
 Guess the word: ____a_
 5 chances left

 q # <-- my input (4th actual input)
 Sorry, q is not in the word. Try again.
 
 Guess the word: ____a_
 4 chances left
 
 r # <-- my input (5th actual input)
 Yes! r is in the word!
 
 Guess the word: ____ar
 4 chances left

 h # <-- my input (6th actual input)
 Sorry, h is not in the word. Try again.
 
 Guess the word: ____ar
 3 chances left
 
 c # <-- my input (7th actual input)

this is where the program should've initially said 
'Sorry, you ran out of attempts. The word was cougar. Maybe next time ☹.

instead, I get this:
 
 Yes! c is in the word!
 
 Guess the word: c___ar
 3 chances left # <-- this is WRONG!!

 g # <-- my input (my 1st extra attempt)
 Yes! g is in the word!
 
 Guess the word: c__gar
 3 chances left
 
 i # <-- my input (my 2nd extra attempt)
 Sorry, i is not in the word. Try again.
 
 Guess the word: c__gar
 2 chances left

 o # <-- my input (my 3rd extra attempt)
 Yes! o is in the word!
 
 Guess the word: co_gar
 2 chances left
 
 u # <-- my input (my 4th extra attempt)
 Yes! u is in the word!
 
 Awesome! You guessed cougar!

So my program is supposed to allow only 7 attempts (with the exception of a repeated letter). As you can clearly see I got **12** attempts! Out of which only 8 were acceptable (7 actual attempts and 1 for repeating 'b'), meaning I got 4 EXTRA attempts. (this is what I need to fix).

Here's my code:

 from random import choice
 
 words = choice(['ant', 'alpaca', 'baboon', 'badger', 'bat', 'bear', 'beaver', 'camel', 'cat', 'clam', 'cobra', 'cougar',
 'coyote', 'crow', 'deer', 'dog', 'donkey', 'duck', 'eagle', 'ferret', 'fox', 'frog', 'goat', 'goose',
 'hawk', 'lion', 'lizard', 'llama', 'mole', 'monkey', 'moose', 'mouse', 'mule', 'newt', 'otter', 'owl',
 'panda', 'parrot', 'pigeon', 'python', 'rabbit', 'ram', 'rat', 'raven', 'rhino', 'salmon', 'seal',
 'shark', 'sheep', 'skunk', 'sloth', 'snake', 'spider', 'stork', 'swan', 'tiger', 'toad', 'trout',
 'turkey', 'turtle', 'weasel', 'whale', 'wolf', 'wombat', 'zebra'])
 
 guessed = []
 wrong = []
 attempts = 7
 
 while attempts > 0:
 
 out = ''
 
 for letter in words:
 if letter in guessed:
 out = out + letter
 else:
 out = out + '_'
 
 if out == words:
 break
 
 print('Guess the word:',out)
 print(attempts,'chances left\n')
 
 guess = input()
 
 if guess in guessed or guess in wrong:
 print('You already guessed',guess+ '.','Please try another one!')
 elif guess in words:
 print('Yes!',guess,'is in the word!')
 guessed.append(guess)
 else:
 print('Sorry,',guess,'is not in the word. Try again.')
 attempts = attempts - 1
 wrong.append(guess)
 
 print()
 
 if attempts:
 print('Awesome! You guessed',words + '!')
 else:
 print('Sorry you ran out of attempts. The word was',words + '.', 'Maybe next time ☹')
