Incorrect Wordle highlighting

This affects words with two letters in it. Only one E should be highlighted:

Here is the fix, but written in Python. The zip() function btw lets me have multiple variables in a for loop.
First, it tallies the number of letters in the answer, then as it checks the guess, it decreases the tally for letters the exact place (first) then any letters left that are misplaced (second)

class LetterType:
    WRONG = '⬛'
    MISPLACED = '🟨'
    EXACT = '🟩'


def highlight(guess, answer):
    highlights = [LetterType.WRONG for i in answer]

    # Tallying
    answer_tally = {}
    for letter in answer:
        if answer_tally.get(letter) is not None:
            continue
        answer_tally[letter] = answer.count(letter)

    print("Answer:", answer)
    print("Guess: ", guess)

    # Green pass
    for i, current_letter_guess, current_letter_answer in zip(range(len(answer)), guess, answer):
        if current_letter_guess != current_letter_answer:
            continue

        highlights[i] = LetterType.EXACT
        answer_tally[current_letter_guess] -= 1

    # Yellow pass
    for i, current_letter_guess, current_letter_highlight in zip(range(len(answer)), guess, highlights):
        if current_letter_highlight == LetterType.EXACT:
            continue
        if answer_tally.get(current_letter_guess) == 0 or answer_tally.get(current_letter_guess) is None:
            continue

        highlights[i] = LetterType.MISPLACED
        answer_tally[current_letter_guess] -= 1

    print(''.join(highlights))
    return highlights


highlight("speed", "abide") # Expected: ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨
highlight("speed", "erase") # Expected: 🟨⬛🟨🟨⬛
highlight("speed", "steal") # Expected: 🟩⬛🟩⬛⬛
highlight("speed", "crepe") # Expected: ⬛🟨🟩🟨⬛
