reattempts

Goes another round

Reattempts are attempts made after previous failures.

The word appears most often in technical contexts—software that reattempts a failed connection, a system that allows three reattempts at a password.

As a verb, to reattempt is to try again: She reattempted the exam after studying for another month.
