Can you try the following code:

def checkValidGuess():

    if guessword in guess:
        print("Repeat")

    elif guessword in num:
        print("You can only input letter a-z")
        print("Try again")

    elif len(guessword) > 1:
        print("You can only guess one letter at a time!")
        print("Try again")


def checkPlayerWord():
    if guessall == word:
        print("Well done")
    else:
        print("Uh oh!")


def checkLetterInWords():
    if guessword.lower() in word:
        print("Well done!", guessword, "is in my word")
    elif guessword.lower() not in word and guessword.lower() not in num:
        print("Try again")


choose = input("Enter your choice:")
readFileWords()
time = 10
word = getRandomWord()
guess = [] # list to store the input values
while time != 0 and word:
    print("You have", time, "guesses left.")
    guessword = input("Guess a letter or enter '0''to guess the word:")  # This is user input to guess the letter    
    num = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"]
    checkValidGuess()
    guess.append(guessword) # appending the input to list
    if guessword == "0":
        guessall = input("What is the word: ")
        checkPlayerWord()
    else:
        checkLetterInWords()

The guess = [] must be declared outside the loop, otherwise for every iteration it will create a new list
