Need adivce on how to get the a number guess game to restart

j462 (2)
I made a number guessing game where the computer has to guess what number your thinking of from 1 to 10. Part of my assignment is to make the game restart when the computer wins. I tried putting all the code i wanted to repeat each game into a while loops but that just causes the entire game to not work for some reason. I figured it has to be either be the placement of the while statement or i'm using the wrong condition for the loop. Any help or adivce on a different approach is greatly aprreicated.
Code that works
