How do I fix this error that keeps popping up that says "Syntax error: Expected 'end', got 'else.''?

This code is just my first game and I am following a tutorial on yt. I have already worked hours on it and even more just doing research and doing everything I can to fix the code. Anyway i get this error message with the following code and really need help to fix it because i will probably give up:

for i = GameLength,0,-1 do

	for x, player in pairs(plrs) do 
		if player then 

			character = player.Character
			-- Left the game
			
		else
			if character:FindFirstChild("GameTag") then
				-- They are still alive
				print(player.Name.."is still in the game!")
				
			else
				-- They are dead
				table.remove(plrs,x)
				
			end
		end

	else <------- THE ERROR IS RIGHT HERE AND SAYS "Error: (111,3) Syntax error: Expected 'end' (to close 'do' at line 93), got 'else''.

			table.remove(plrs,x)
			print(player.Name.."has been removed!")
	end
	
	wait(1)
	
end

end

Note: I have made comments numbering each loop / if statement.

The reason you are getting the error is because the 'else' keyword does not operate with a 'for' loop, only with an 'if' statement.

for i = GameLength,0,-1 do -- 1
	for x, player in pairs(plrs) do -- 2
		if player then -- 3

			character = player.Character
			-- Left the game

		else -- 3
			if character:FindFirstChild("GameTag") then -- 4
				-- They are still alive
				print(player.Name.."is still in the game!")

			else -- 4
				-- They are dead
				table.remove(plrs,x)

			end -- 4
		end -- 3

		-- Removed else keyword from this location

		table.remove(plrs,x)
		print(player.Name.."has been removed!")
	end -- 2

	wait(1)
	end -- 1
end --< Appears to be an extra 'end' keyword
-- ^^ If you do not have another loop that requires this 'end' keyword, remove it.
