Hey guys,

getting hung up on the last "ghost" game in ps5. Specifically, I'm trying to write code to determine if the current fragment is the possible beginning of a word, but I'm getting an 'index out of range' error. I can't see how what I've written doesn't check for this possibility already - any thoughts anyone? Thanks!
