For loop is skipping some stuff! Python

Question

I\'m trying to run this code so that it runs a function for all elements of a list. For illustrative purposes here, basically it should print:

\'----------Possi         


        

Answer 1

Jon Clements is right. You generally don't want to do something like this. However I'll assume you have a specific need for it.

The answer is simple. Change the line

for possible_word in input:

to this line

for possible_word in input[:]:

This will make a copy of the list for you to iterate over. That way when you remove an item it won't effect your loop.
