title: Why is my exception not working
body: <p>I'm trying to make hangman, I know that there is still a lot to do but I can't figure out why the exception at the bottom isn't working. Here's my code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import random
  hideword = 0
  player1 = input('''What is player 1's you name? ''')
  player2 = input('''What is player 2's you name? ''')
  letterlist = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k' ,'l' ,'m' ,'n' ,'o' ,'p','q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']
  print(player1 + 'is first!')
  word = input(player2 + ', please turn away, ' + player1 + ' please write a LOWER case word for ' + player2 + ' to guess. ' )
  wordsplit = list(word)
  while hideword &lt; 50:
      print()
      hideword += 1
  while True:
      print(player2 + ', ' + player1 + ''''s word fits into these blanks''')
      print('_ ' * len(wordsplit))
      letter = input(player2 + ' please type a LOWER case letter to guess. ' )
      wordsplit.index(letter)
      letterlist.remove(letter)
      try:
          if letter in wordsplit:
              print('CORRET!')
              print('_ ' * wordsplit.index(letter) + letter + ' _ ' * (len(wordsplit) - wordsplit.index(letter) - 1))
              break
      except ValueError:
          print('Incorrect! Try again')
