Here's how I would do it

import random

word_list = ['book','banana','peach','car','house','people','chair','table','juice','sleep','window']
get_word = random.choice(word_list)
result = '_' * len(get_word)
guessed = ''

attempts_left = 5
while attempts_left > 0 and '_' in result:
  result = ''.join(c if c in guessed else '_' for c in get_word)
  print('The word is', result)
  print(attempts_left, 'attempts left')
  guess_letter = input("Enter a letter: ")
  if len(guess_letter) == 1 and not guess_letter in guessed:
    guessed += guess_letter
    attempts_left -= not guess_letter in get_word

I would iterate over the letters of your word and check if they match with the guess. If yes, replace the "_" with the guess.

import random

word_list = [
    "book",
    "banana",
    "peach",
    "car",
    "house",
    "people",
    "chair",
    "table",
    "juice",
    "sleep",
    "window",
]
get_word = random.choice(word_list)
attempts = 0
result = ["_"] * len(get_word)
print("The word is", "".join(result))
while attempts < 5:
    print("Enter a letter")
    guess = input()
    if len(guess) == 1:
        for i, letter in enumerate(get_word):
            if letter == guess:
                result[i] = guess
        if guess not in get_word:
            attempts += 1
    print("".join(result))
