You have the right idea with a 'while' loop, but you want your code to repeat until they give an acceptable answer. If you're only looking for "Forward", your code might look like this: while not dir1...

I tried running the code. I'm not sure why, but your 'guess' string seems to have a length of 0 at that point.  Sidenote- why are you using guess[0]? guess is a string, you could just set its value...
