Sigh. Oops. Make that: for x,letter in enumerate("hello"): print (x, " ", letter) You definitely should start doing it this way. It's more "pythonic" and also cleaner and easier to understand when you're reading the code later. Also you did add Y to your list of vowels, but what about words that have no vowels and no Y? Maybe not real words, but things that might be likely to be in sentences: "I am from Washington, DC" It's way better to fix your logic so you have a fall-back. Hint: Set pigword before your enter the loop so that it always contains _something_, preferably the original word! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
