Hi Gabriel,
Try lists of non-numbers as your input, and the error should be a
little clearer to see. You should see the conceptual error you're
making if not everything in your program is numeric.
Try:
words = ['hello', 'world', 'hello']
print(words.count(0))
print(words.count('hello'))
First write down what you'd expect to see from this. Then execute
this snippet. Does your expectations match what you see?

A main bug in your program is that parts of your program are using
numbers for list indices, and other parts of your program are using
numbers as elements, but there's a little confusion in using one
notion for the other.

Good luck!
