Simple Python Game while-loop syntax error

Question

So - I'm new to Python and just messing around with some basic games to get my head around the language.. For whatever reason this little code returns "Invalid Syntax on Line 8" which is the "While guessedwrong == 1" line... Can anyone tell me why?

from random import randint

UserResponse = int(input("Guess what number between 1 and 100 I'm thinking 
of!"))
RandomNumber = randint(1,100)
guessedwrong = 1

While guessedwrong == 1:
    If UserResponse > RandomNumber:
        print("Nope! Lower!")
        UserResponse = int(input("Try again!"))
    elif UserResponse < RandomNumber:
        print("Njet! Higher!")
        UserResponse = int(input("Try again!"))
    else
        print("Correct! You're awesome!")
        GuessedWrong = 0

make all characters of if and while lowercase. Python is case-sensetive programming language. — Dmitry

Python is case sensitive:

while guessedwrong == 1:
#^
    if UserResponse > RandomNumber
     #^

    # Some other your code
    else:
    #  ^^
        print("Correct! You're awesome!")
        guessedwrong = 0
        # ^^^^^^

Full corrected code

from random import randint

UserResponse = int(input("Guess what number between 1 and 100 I'm thinking of!"))
RandomNumber = randint(1, 100)
guessedwrong = 1

while guessedwrong == 1:
    if UserResponse > RandomNumber:
        print("Nope! Lower!")
        UserResponse = int(input("Try again!"))
    elif UserResponse < RandomNumber:
        print("Njet! Higher!")
        UserResponse = int(input("Try again!"))
    else:
        print("Correct! You're awesome!")
        guessedwrong = 0
