Beginner project - Hangman game - Issue

Hello everybody
Inputting the same character multiple times doesn’t work.
Here is my code
Please be noted that I’ve unnecessarily complicated my code by working on it for a long time to resolve the problem.
I’d really appreciate a correction from anybody.
Thanks in advance

import random

print("Hangman Game")
name = input("Enter your name:\n")
print("Let's get started " + name)

def choice():
    global wordlen
    global attempts
    tries = 0
    while tries<5:
         wordlen = input("Enter word length(4-9):")
         attempts = input("How many attempts do you need(5-10):")
         try:
             if 4 > int(wordlen) or int(wordlen) > 9:
                 tries = tries + 1
             else:
                 pass
                 tries = 6
         except ValueError:
                tries = tries + 1
                print("Invalid input\n")
    if tries == 5:
        print("Try again Later \n Bye")

What do you mean it doesn’t work? What should happen in such case? What currently happen?

It works fine if the randomly chosen word has each letter only once. for example, ‘word’.
but if a word like ‘boots’ is chosen then the user has to input ‘o’ twice, right? but in this case, it is not possible to input ‘o’ twice as an answer. it doesn’t work.

I’m not sure, version I’m familiar with is showing all occurrences of picked letter in a single step.

Regarding the problem. Take a closer look at lists keeping guessed and same letters. Go step-by-step what happens with them and when.
