Is there a way to fix my python Wordle program?

I am new to python and am building a wordle program in simple python. I will attach the code below: (Note- to understand this question you will have to be familiar with the game "Wordle" (https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html))

i = 0
while 1>0:
    guess_word = ["b", "l","a","n","k"]
    word = input()
    while i <= 4:
        check = guess_word[i]
        if check in word:
            if word.find(check) == i:
                print("green")
            elif word.find(check) != i:
                print("yellow")
        elif check not in word:
            print("grey")
        i = i + 1

The problem with the code is that for some words it is giving the wrong answer (green, yellow, or grey) for some inputs, but the right answer in others. This is visible in the screenshot below:

enter image description here

As you can see, when the word "facts" is entered, it is saying that the letter "a" is grey, whereas in fact it should be yellow, and the letter "c" is "yellow", where it should in fact be "grey". The given output for "facts" is

grey
grey
yellow
grey
grey

where it should actually be

grey
yellow
grey
grey
grey

On the other hand, for the words "falts" and "blank" it is giving the right output. Please help me fix this problem.

        if check in guess_word:

                print("green")
            elif guess_word.find(check) != i:

        else:
            print("grey")
        i = i + 1

You have confused guess_word with word. In this case, the solution to your wordle is "facts" and you are guessing the word "blank". If you print out check you will see what the issue is:

b
grey
l
grey
a
yellow
n
grey
k
grey

Indeed, the third letter "a" is found in the word "facts"
