Python Python hangman game

New Coder
Hello! I am making this hangman game for school and unfortunately the letters always display as incorrect even if they are in the word.

Python:
while wrong < MAX_WRONG and so_far != word:
    print(hangjerry[wrong])
    print("You've used the following letters:", used)
    print("So far, the word is:", so_far)

    guess = input("Enter your guess: ")
    guess = guess.upper()

    if guess in used:
        print("You've already guessed the letter", guess)
    used.append(guess)

    if guess in word:
        print("Yes!", guess, "is in the word!")
        new = ""

       for i in range(len(word)):

           if guess == word[i]:
                new += guess
            else:
                new += so_far[i]
        so_far = new

    else:
        print("Sorry,", guess, "isn't in the word.")
        wrong += 1
