How to loop this code back to the beginning?

Could anyone help me with looping this code back to the beginning if the user inputs yes and ending the program if the user inputs no?

while True:
    print ("Hello, this is a program to check if a word is a palindrome or not.")
    word = input("Enter a word: ")
    word = word.casefold()
    revword = reversed(word)
    if list(word) == list(revword):
        print ("The word" ,word, "is a palindrome.")
    else:
        print("The word" ,word, "is not a palindrome.")
    print ("Would you like to check another word?")
    ans = input()
    if ans == ("Yes") :
      #here to return to beginning
    else ans == ("No"):
        print ("Goodbye")

Change while True to while ans == "Yes". Before the loop, you have to define ans as "Yes" (ans = "Yes). That way, it will automatically run once, but will prompt the user to continue.

Alternatively, you could do this

ans = input()
if ans == "No":
    break

Use continue to continue your loop and break to exit it. 

   if ans == ("Yes") :
      continue
    else ans == ("No"):
        print ("Goodbye")
        break

Or, you could just leave off the if ans == ("Yes") and just have this:

    else ans == ("No"):
        print ("Goodbye")
        break

Or even better, you could change your while loop to check the ans variable instead of doing while True:
