---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Digit Words
A digit word is a word where, after possibly removing some letters, you are left with one of the single digits: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT or NINE.
For example:
BOUNCE and ANNOUNCE are digit words, since they contain the digit ONE.
ENCODE is not a digit word, even though it contains an O, N and E, since they are not in order.
Write a program which reads in a single upper-case word (with at most fifteen letters) and determines if it is a digit word.
If the word is not a digit word you should output the word NO.
If the word is a digit word you should output the digit it contains, as a number.
We will not be testing any words which contain more than one digit.

Why not post what you've tried?

def dw():
message = input("what is your word: ")
for char in message:
if char == "O" and char== "N" and char== "E" :
print ("one")
dw()
i was trying to make the first part work and then once i got that i could copy paste for the rest of the code just changing the letters

im really new to python so my code is very simple and it doesnt work at all but here it is
def dw():
message = input("what is your word: ")
for char in message:
if char == "O" and char== "N" and char== "E" :
print ("one")
dw()

ONE
You could print out
char
each time round the loop to understand what your test means, or use the debugger.

The solution requires knowledge of mutability, indexing, arguments, parameters, exception raising, containers, iterables, iterators, standard library modules, boolean logic, conditions, and returns. If your teacher hasn't covered these then there's not much you can do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If this is the level you're at then I don't think there's a real point in attempting the question as it's way above what a beginner would be capable of.

so the code would be something like:
Code:
words_list = [[O,N,E],[T,W,O],[T,H,R,E,E]...]
inputted_word = input()
def get_answer():
word_is_digit_word = False
i = 0
for digit_word in words_list:
order_iter = 0
for letter in inputted_word:
if letter == digit_word[order_iter]:
if order_iter < len(digit_word):
order_iter += 1
else:
word_is_digit_word = True
return word_is_digit_word, i
i += 1
return word_is_digit_word, i
word_is_digit_word, i = get_answer()
print('was it a digit word?: ', word_is_digit_word)
if word_is_digit_word:
print('which word was it?: , words_list[i])

Break the question down, design the code and then implement your design. "Best by test"
