Q7 — Count Same First Letter Words


Display how many words begin with that letter.

Q8 — Words Containing the Input


Display all words that contain the input word.

Q9 — Count Words Containing the Input

Q12 — Full Program


Combine all parts into one program that repeats until the user enters 1.
Part B — Answers

A1 — Array
words = ["wind", "wire", "borrowing", "swing", "winter", "winner", "window"]

A2 — User Input
user_word = input("Enter a word or 1 to exit: ")

A3 — Exit Condition
if user_word == "1":
exit()

A4 — Repeat Program
while True:
user_word = input("Enter a word or 1 to exit: ")
if user_word == "1":
break

A5 — First Letter
first_letter = user_word[0]

A6 — Same First Letter


for w in words:
if w[0] == first_letter:
print(w)

A7 — Count Same Letter


count = 0
for w in words:
if w[0] == first_letter:
print(w)
count += 1
print(count, "word(s) begin with", first_letter)

A8 — Words Containing Input


for w in words:
if user_word in w:
print(w)

A9 — Count Containing
count = 0
for w in words:
if user_word in w:
print(w)
count += 1
print(count, "word(s) contain", user_word)

A10 — Longest Word


longest = ""
for w in words:
if user_word in w:
if len(w) > len(longest):
longest = w
print("The longest word has", len(longest), "letters")
print("The longest word is", longest)

A11 — Shortest Word


shortest = ""
for w in words:
if user_word in w:
if shortest == "" or len(w) < len(shortest):
shortest = w
print("The shortest word has", len(shortest), "letters")
print("The shortest word is", shortest)
