Rambo , the task description says: Output Format: A number representing the average length of each word, rounded up to the nearest whole number. rounding up means that you have to use math.ceiling() for rounding not the regular round()

Rambo Here's a simpler solution: [EDITED] var = "".join(x for x in input() if x == " " or x.isalpha()) avg = len(var) / len(var.split()) print(int(avg) + (int(avg) < avg)) # Hope this helps
