Lesson 22 ? Word game
Title: Play with letters and words
Description: Build tiny word games with strings, loops, and lists.
Why it matters for kids: Word games are fun and help you practice string skills.
1. Count letters
word = "banana"
print(len(word))len() tells you how many characters are inside.
2. Print letters one by one
word = "robot"
for letter in word:
print(letter)3. Make a shout
message = "coding is fun"
print(message.upper())4. Simple secret word check
secret_word = "python"
guess = input("Guess the word: ")
if guess.lower() == secret_word:
print("Correct!")
else:
print("Try again.")5. Easy examples
name = "Mia"
print(name[0])
print(name[-1])word = "pop"
if word == word[::-1]:
print("Same forward and backward!")sentence = "I like Python"
words = sentence.split()
