Thank you for sharing your knowledge NovelTech Media.
Here's is the working code just in case someone wants the code.

import time

name = input("what is your name?")
print("Hello, " + name)
print(" ")
time.sleep(1)
print("Start Playing ...")
time.sleep(0.2)
word = "plane"
guesses = ""
turns = 10
while turns > 0:
failed = 0
for char in word:
if char in guesses:
print(char)
else:
print("_")
failed += 1
if failed == 0:
print("Yaaahhhh, You WON!")
break
guess = input("guess a character:")
guesses += guess

if guess not in word:
turns -= 1
print("You Guessed Wrong")
print("You have only", + turns, "left")

if turns == 0:
print("You loose")
