That's nice. Why do you use len(sol) instead of len(sol[0])? You only print the first three items. Here is another way to do it: In [8]: solution=['abject','poetry','keypad'] In [9]: [''.join(x) for x in zip(*solution)] Out[9]: ['apk', 'boe', 'jey', 'etp', 'cra', 'tyd'] Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
