Research direction

Review the exercise statement and its existing testing setup, which the issue identifies as accepting the shown program. Check how the character-count condition is evaluated; done means a program that only accepts three or more characters no longer passes, while the stated more-than-one-character behavior does.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Task asked for "Please write a program which asks the user for a word and then prints out the number of characters, if there was more than one typed in."

during testing i thought it said 3 characters so wrote this code:

input_word = str(input("Please type in a word:"))
letters = len(input_word)
if letters >= 3:
print(f"There are {letters} letters in the word {input_word}")
print("Thank you!")

This passed the testing, yet doesn't actually solve the problem!
