Why don't you use something like this e.g.:
sage: A.<a,b,c,d,e> = AbelianGroup(5,[4, 5, 5, 7, 8])
sage: b1 = a^3*b*c*d^2*e^5
sage: b2 = a^2*b*c^2*d^3*e^3
sage: b3 = a^7*b^3*c^5*d^4*e^4
sage: b4 = a^3*b^2*c^2*d^3*e^5
sage: b5 = a^2*b^4*c^2*d^4*e^5
sage: word_problem([b1,b2,b3,b4,b5],e) #random order
[[a^3*b*c*d^2*e^5, 1], [a^2*b*c^2*d^3*e^3, 1], [a^3*b^3*d^4*e^4, 3],
[a^2*b^4*c^2*d^4*e^5, 1]]
sage: ans_dict = {a^3*b*c*d^2*e^5: 1, a^2*b*c^2*d^3*e^3: 1,
a^3*b^3*d^4*e^4: 3, a^2*b^4*c^2*d^4*e^5: 1}
sage: dict( word_problem([b1,b2,b3,b4,b5],e) ) == ans_dict # we use
dict to avoid ordering problems
True
(remark: It would make sense for the function word_problem to return a
dict. This would allow:
sage: w = word_problem([b1,b2,b3,b4,b5],e)
sage: w[b3]
3
end of the remark)
