| Each of the challenges this week will ask you to modify and work with code in the [[Wordplay]] project which you should have installed and begun working with in class.
| | Challenge 1: modify a Python file to use functions |
| | | Challenge 2: Make an API request with Requests |
| As always, it's not essential that you solve or get through all of these — I'm not grading your answers on these. That said, being able to work through at least many of them is a good sign that you have mastered the concepts for the week. It is always fine to collaborate or work together on these problem sets. The only thing I ask is that you do not broadcast answers before Sunday at midnight on Canvas.

| Challenges about finding words:
| |
| | |
| # Find all words that start with 'a' and are 9 or more letters long.
| |
| # What is the longest word that starts with a 'q'?
| |
| # Find all words that end with 'nge'
| |
| # You need a word that matches "a*ey" (here "*" means any letter). Are there any words that match?
| |
| # Print every other word that matches the condition in (1) above.
| |
| # Find the longest string where no character is used > 1 time.
| |
| | |
| Now we're going to start finding points! You can use scrabble.scores to get the scores for every letter. But we're going to cheat: assume you have all the letters.
| |
| | |
| # What is the most valuable word in the dictionary, and how much is it worth?
| |
| # You want to match a word that starts with an 'a', has an 'e' in the 4th slot, and is no more than 7 characters long. What is the best word you can play?
| |
| # Make a list that shows the most valuable word that starts with each letter. Example:
| |
| | |
| a: apophthegmatize, 37
| |
| c: chiquichiquis, 41
| |
| b: bezzazzes, 47
| |
| e: embezzlements, 37
| |
| d: decitizenizing, 36
