How to count the letters in a word? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here: Letter Count on a string 11 answers I am trying to make a Python script which counts the amount of letters in a randomly chosen word for my Hangman game. I already looked around on the web, but most thing I could find was count specific letters in a word. After more looking around I ended up with this, which does not work for some reason. If someone could point out the errors, that'd be greatly appreciated. wordList = ["Tree", "Fish", "Monkey"] wordChosen = random.choice(wordList) wordCounter = wordChosen.lower().count['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g'
