SyntaxError: 'break' outside loop in python code

Question

When running this code I keep getting the error SyntaxError: 'break' outside loop in python code after I enter any number (the first raw-input). I am trying to break the while-loop not the if-else loop which I think might be what's happening.

     import time
     import random

     players = raw_input("1 or 2 players? please enter ")

if (players==1):

    name = raw_input("What is your name? ")

    print "Hello, " + name, "Time to play hangman!"

    print "\n"

    time.sleep(1)   #wait for 1 second

    print "Start guessing... you only get 10 lives!"
    time.sleep(0.5)

    #here we set the secret
    word = 'ant car space stas satalite hubble amaing baboon badger bat bear      beaver camel cat clam cobra cougar coyote crow deer dog donkey duck eagle ferret     fox frog goat goose hawk lion lizard llama mole monkey moose mouse mule newt     otter owl panda parrot pigeon python rabbit ram rat raven rhino salmon seal     shark sheep skunk sloth snake spider stork swan tiger toad trout turkey turtle     weasel whale wolf wombat zebra'.split()
    def getRandomWord(wordList):
        # This function returns a random string from the passed list of strings.
        wordIndex = random.randint(0, len(wordList) - 1)
        return wordList[wordIndex]

    guesses = ''     #creates an variable with an empty value

    turns = 10     #determine the number of turns

    # Create a while loop

    while turns > 0:            #check if the turns are more than zero

        failed = 0        # make a counter that starts with zero           

        for char in word:          # for every character in secret_word  

            if char in guesses:            # see if the character is in the players guess

                print char,            # print then out the character

        else:

            print "_",             # if not found, print a dash


            failed += 1     # and increase the failed counter with one

    if failed == 0:         # if failed is equal to zero
    print "\nYou won"  

    break          # exit the script      

    print

     guess = raw_input("guess a character:")    # ask the user go guess a     character

    guesses += guess          # set the players guess to guesses           

    if guess not in word:   # if the guess is not found in the secret word

        turns -= 1        # turns counter decreases with 1 (now 9)

        print "Wrong\n"    

        print "You have", + turns, 'more guesses'    # how many turns are left

        if turns == 0:            # if the turns are equal to zero

            print "You Loose\n"       # print "You Loose"

  else:
     player1= raw_input("whats the secret word?")
     #welcoming the user
     name2= raw_input("What is the name of the guesser?")

    print "Hello, " + name2, "Time to play hangman!"

    print "\n"

    time.sleep(1)     #wait for 1 second

    print "Start guessing... you only get 10 lives!"
    time.sleep(0.5)
    word2 = player1
    guesses = ''     #creates an variable with an empty value

    turns = 10     #determine the number of turns

    # Create a while loop

        failed = 0        # make a counter that starts with zero           

        for char in word:          # for every character in secret_word  

            if char in guesses:            # see if the character is in the   players guess

                print char,            # print then out the character

Answer 1

You are using break statement , just after the while loop, outside the while loop, if you want to exit from the script, you should use sys.exit() . The issue is in the lines -

while turns > 0:            #check if the turns are more than zero

    failed = 0        # make a counter that starts with zero           

    for char in word:          # for every character in secret_word  

        if char in guesses:            # see if the character is in the players guess

            print char,            # print then out the character

    else:

        print "_",             # if not found, print a dash


        failed += 1     # and increase the failed counter with one

if failed == 0:         # if failed is equal to zero
    print "\nYou won"  

sys.exit()          # exit the script      

At the start of the script, you should import sys as -

import sys

Answer 2

Is the if statement suppose to be within the while turns >0 loop? The issue here is that the indentations don't match. The if statement lies outside of the while loop and the break statement is on the same level.
