these lines:

guess=input("guess again")
pos=pos+1
if pos==len(word) and word!=guess:
   print("you dint guessed it right & answer is:", word +'.')
else:
      print("\n you guessed it right after", pos+1, "guesses!")

are not inside the loop

so, your loop currently only prints stuff, pos doesn't change in the loop, so you have an infinity loop
