Thanks Glacestrom! i managed to sort it out then and there.

Hello! I believe the issue with your solution is in line 5: the = operator.

Your code would run the while loop once extra when p0 exactly equals p, so your n would be one greater than required in those cases.

Hope that helps!

I don't know if i wrongly understood the instructions but here is my issue:
In pycharm(python3.8) my code return the words "gnirts" and "tneserp" as reversed ( since they have five or more characters)
In codewars it shows that these words remain the same.
My question is why these two remain the same in the tests?

sorry my bad!!

Please, don't post solutions in Discourse. If you want to discuss your solution do it in Solutions.

i found the solution! thanks for your help

Thank you very will try debugging with print

You're doing some things right, but all mixed up so it won't work. Try doing the things one step at a time, and use print to debug your code. For instance, create a list of words first. Once that works, do another simple task and so on.
