It would have been much fewer words to describe the goal of the program. I ran the code, and showed the results of running it. But I still have no spec for what your assignment was. Like maybe the user is supposed to type one character at each prompt, even though it tells him to type 7. And the program should refuse any attempt to type more than one letter. And the user can type the characters in any order, not just A to G, and it'll keep prompting him till all 7 of the original letters is found. And it'll score him based on how many tries before he finishes. Or about 40 other possibilities. If you do have a teacher, have him tell you about comments. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
