In the word length exercise, they asked to return a list of the words that has count number of characters or more.
first, you got it right by using re.findall(r'',string), what is missing overhere is the ingredients of the raw string.
it is a number of unicode characters or more, you can think of two representations:
r'\w{count,)': This is intuitive and logically correct, this only issue with it is that you embedded a variable name inside a string, so the method will not recognize it as a variable and will search for something else. However, if you write r'\w{4,}': the example will work.
r'\w+'*count: This checks if a unicode character occurs at least with the \w+, and then multiplies that one by count, so that it will be searching for at least that much number of characters or more! And this can be the valid solution in this case.
Hope this helps, Salam
