I don't see anything completely wrong with your code, and it sounds like you'll probably end out with the correct count of palindromes. A different approach might involve the dict.get() method. You can find out more information through >>> help(dict.get) If you want to get the most benefit (and that's usually the point of homework assignments), I'd suggest writing two different functions - one doing it the way you suggested, with set, and the other using dict.get. HTH, Wayne (also, if you set your email program to send text-only messages, it might help. Many people on this list get annoyed when an HTML message comes down the pipe - especially since it usually mangles your Python code)
