Why does this make an error and how to fix this??

Question

I'm trying to make a wordle game but on python In repl.it Whenever I try to type a new word after the first one it gives me an error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 58, in <module>
checkWord()
File "main.py", line 38, in checkWord
gameBoard[0][wordIndex] = key.upper()
IndexError: list assignment index out of range

Answer 1

It's at it says. You are using an index out of range. Print "wordIndex" before use to see what values it gets before the error.

Answer 2

Who is this and why are they using my code from over a year ago? I wouldn't like this to show up when someone searches my name.

If there's a way to delete this, please do.
