Python 3.x 尝试替换列表中的项将删除列表的其余部分

我目前正在用python编写一个刽子手游戏，这是我在空白行中添加字符的代码

if guess in correct:
  replace = int(correct.index(guess))
  guesslist[:replace] = guess
  print(guesslist)

这种方法在替换第一个字符时有效

acceptabel
Gissa en bokstav: a
['a', ' _  _  _  _  _  _  _  _  _  _ ']

但每当我尝试替换不是第一个的字符时，就会发生这种情况：

minus
Gissa en bokstav: n
['n']

我该如何解决这个问题

编辑：完整代码

import random

dead = int(0)
tried = list()
with open("ord.txt", "r") as file:
    data = file.read()
    words = data.split()
      
    # Generating a random number for word position
    word_pos = random.randint(0, len(words)-1)
    print(words[word_pos])

correct = list(words[word_pos])
guesslist = list()
guesslist.append(' _ ' * len(correct))

guess = input('Gissa en bokstav: ')
if guess in correct:
  replace = int(correct.index(guess))
  guesslist[:replace] = guess
  print(guesslist)
else:
  tried.append(guess)
  print(tried)

if dead == 9:
  print('_____ \n|   |\n|   0\n|  /|\ \n|  / \ \nL_______')
  print('BRUH HE DEAD')
elif dead == 8:
  print('_____ \n|   |\n|   0\n|  /|\ \n|  /  \nL_______')
elif dead == 7:
  print('_____ \n|   |\n|   0\n|  /|\ \n|    \nL_______')
elif dead == 6:
  print('_____ \n|   |\n|   0\n|  /| \n|    \nL_______')
elif dead == 5:
  print('_____ \n|   |\n|   0\n|  | \n|    \nL_______')
elif dead == 4:
  print('_____ \n|   |\n|   0\n|   \n|    \nL_______')
elif dead == 3:
  print('_____ \n|   |\n|   \n|   \n|    \nL_______')
elif dead == 2:
  print('_____ \n|   \n|   \n|   \n|    \nL_______')
elif dead == 1:
  print(' \n|   \n|   \n|   \n|    \nL_______')
elif dead == 0:
  print('\n \n \n \n \n________')

为了帮助澄清您的问题，如果在正确的索引中找到字符，您希望在猜测列表中适当的正确索引处插入一个新字符（猜测）。是的，这就是我试图做的。不确定如何将其集成到我的代码中，我已将我的整个程序添加到问题中，以获得额外的上下文（正确的单词？）。

correct = 'happily'
answer = [" "]*len(correct)

def update_answer(cor, ans, g):
    if g in cor:
        st = 0
        while st < len(cor):
            indx = cor.find(g, st)
            if indx < 0:
                break
            ans[indx] = g
            st = indx+1
    return ans  

import random as rnd

def hangman():
    solved = False
    max_guesses = 4
    good_guesses = 0
    correct = "" 
    tried = []
    # Get new random word
    with open("ord.txt", "r") as file:
        data = file.read()
        words = data.split()
        # Make sure correct is composed of Upper case letters
        correct = rnd.choice(words).upper()
    correct = rnd.choice(test_words).upper()
    answer = [""] * len(correct)  
    while len(tried) < max_guesses and not solved:
        # make sure guess is single letter and upper case
        guess = input('Gissa en bokstav: ')[0].upper()
        if guess in answer or guess in tried:
            print (f"You have already guessed the letter {guess}, try again!") 
    
        elif guess in correct:
            st = 0
            while st < len(correct):

                if indx < 0:
                    break
                answer[indx] = guess
                good_guesses += 1
                st = indx+1
            if len(correct) == good_guesses:

    if not solved:
