Try the following code:

<?php
$num_to_guess=42;
$num_tries=0;
$num_tries = (!isset($_POST["num_tries"])) ? $num_tries + 1 : 0;
$message = "";
if (!isset($_POST["guess"])){
 $message = "WELCOME TO THE GUESSING MAChINE!";
 } else if ($_POST["guess"] >$num_to_guess) {
 $message = "$_POST[guess] is too big! TRY a smaller number";
 }else if ($_POST["guess"] < $num_to_guess) {
	$message = "TOO SMALL OR EMPTY";
 } else { 
	$message = "WELL DONE!";
 }
(isset($_POST["guess"])) ? $guess = $_POST["guess"] : $guess = '';
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>SAVE STATE WITH HIDDEN FIELD</title>

<body>
<h1>
<?php echo $message ?>
</h1>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="POST">
<p><strong>Type your guess Here: </strong>
<input type="text" name="guess" value="<?php echo $guess ?>" >
<input type="hidden" name="num_tries" value="<?php echo $num_tries ?>" >
