Python Core-Regular Expressions_Checking if input word's first 2 letters are "gl"....Help!

Question

This is the code I type in...I am aware it just looks for "gl" in the input word....but if in this line if re.match(pattern,word): I type in (word[0]+word[1]) instead of word, it doesnt work either....Any one can please help me?

import re

#your code goes here
pattern=r"gl"

word =input()

if re.match(pattern,word):
print("Match")
else:
print("No Match")

Answer 1

import re

#your code goes here
pattern=r"^gl.*"
