Tell us what’s happening:

Aloha, You absolute Legends of the freeCodeCamp community! :smiley:
I’ve been racking my brain for 2 hours at this point trying to complete the 17th step, but no dice, unfortunately.

If some of You fine folks could give me a hint, that would be hella rad! :slight_smile:

Your code so far

def pin_extractor(poems):
    secret_code = ''
    for poem in poems:
        lines = poem.split('\n')
        for line_index, line in enumerate(lines):
            words = line.split()
            if len(words) > line_index:
                secret_code += str(len(words[line_index]))
            else:
                secret_code += '0'
    return secret_code

poem = """Stars and the moon
shine in the sky
white and
until the end of the night"""

poem2 = 'The grass is green\nhere and there\nhoping for rain\nbefore it turns yellow'
poem3 = 'There\nonce\nwas\na\ndragon'

# print(pin_extractor(poem))

I was stumped by it as well. It’s one of the steps, where instructions and hints need to be taken rather literally, while keeping in mind that resulting function will be just intermediate version and will be further changed in following steps.

Holy hell, @sanity, You’re a genius! Thanks so much for that hint! :smiley:
I was totally overthinking it and making it way more complicated than it needed to be.
