How do i make the guesses go down by one in hangman

I have tried to make the guesses go down by one if the word they clicked on dont match the word. but every time i try to do it, it either makes the guesses go down one but then it will also go down when the word matches. and if i try changing the code the guesses will go down by how many words there are left. Like this one

function wordChecker(cell) {

    for (let i = 0; i < word.length; i++) {
        if (word[i] === cell.innerHTML) {

            answerArray[i] = cell.innerHTML
            answer.innerHTML = answerArray.join(" ")
            remainingLetters--
            checkWin()
            console.log(remainingLetters);
            console.log(answerArray);
            break;

        } else {
            guesses.innerHTML--
            console.log(guesses);
        }
    }

}

i thought it could be because of the for loop and even though i make an if outside of the for loop i doesnt work properly.
