[FIXED] Continue is not working in for loop with if statements ('continue' not properly in loop)

Issue

New to coding and cant figure out why continue wont work in my for loop. After the print statements, I want to start the loop over again from the top. If anyone could let me know what im doing wrong that would be great. I am not allowed to share the cse231_random file sorry if this makes it so you cant run it.

import string
import random
import time
from cse231_random import randint
ALPHABET_EASY = string.ascii_letters 
ALPHABET = string.ascii_letters + string.punctuation


easy_str = ""
length=random.randint(3, 5)
for i in range(length):
   index=randint(0, len(ALPHABET_EASY))
   easy_str += ALPHABET_EASY[index]
print(easy_str)
start= time.time()
easy_input=input("\nEnter this string:")
stop= time.time()
easy_input=easy_input.replace(" ", "")
easy_input=easy_input
if stop-start>10:
 print("Oops! Too much time.")
 continue
elif easy_input.lower()==easy_str.lower():
 print("Good job! You spent {} of 10 seconds entering string [{}][{}]".format(stop-start,easy_str,easy_input))
 continue
elif easy_input.lower()!=easy_str.lower():
 print("Incorrect.")
 continue

Solution

Should the whole body be in indented?

for i in range(length):
    index=randint(0, len(ALPHABET_EASY))
    easy_str += ALPHABET_EASY[index]
    print(easy_str)
    start= time.time()
    easy_input=input("\nEnter this string:")
    stop= time.time()
    easy_input=easy_input.replace(" ", "")
    easy_input=easy_input
    if stop-start>10:
        print("Oops! Too much time.")
        continue
    elif easy_input.lower()==easy_str.lower():
        print("Good job! You spent {} of 10 seconds entering string [{}][{}]".format(stop-   start,easy_str,easy_input))
        continue
    elif easy_input.lower()!=easy_str.lower():
        print("Incorrect.")
        continue
