Hey,

I don't want to type the whole answer but you can achieve this by using regexp expressions. Python by default has a package called "re".

So after importing re the function would be re.sub("chars_to_replace", "string_to_replace_with", word)

Few ways to group different characters in this case are:

Using pipes '|' as a OR condition e.g. "a|e|i" Using [] to create a group of characters to replace "[aei]" More information about regular expressions here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html

Hope this helps!
