I’m a beginner in programming, and I found out I cannot even reproduce a simple number guessing program I have earlier copied from a book.
Is it a beginner issue, or there is more than just continuing to learn to be able to code without hints?

Yeah. Building something and solving your gaps yourself is much better for learning than following a walkthrough.
A walkthrough can be effective onboarding if you’re already familiar with the concepts. Otherwise, it takes the right kind of learning mindset to effectively take away results; not just following along, but internalizing the concepts and constructs.
For beginners, both the language and the concepts are new. Repetition/Multiple occasions help with internalizing.
