Hello @hgwca, coming here for help and checking your answers is exactly the right move.
A couple things with your code, first, you have an 'or' missing in your first 'if' statement.
The next issue I see is that you are assigning 'first' equal to the 0 index of "word", this will set 'first' equal to 'w', always. This will also cause the condition to print "constant" for any word not starting with a number.

The first suggestions I would offer is to add the 'or' and remove the quotes from around "word" and watch how the program behaves.
If you are still hitting a brick wall, come back and we will try to help. :)

Another tip: When you post code in OpenStudy, people can not copy and paste it. Try it. The code collapses. http://dpaste.com/ , http://pastebin.com/ , and https://gist.github.com/ can all easily let you share code that people can actually use. That way we can more easily debug your code. =)
