title: How to check each letter of a word in a spiraling fashion and returning a bool, in Python 3?
body: <p>For example the word 'urgent' starting at u, moving to the end - t, back to r, n, g, and finally e (starting form the outside and moving inwards). Also for this particular word it is in reverse alphabetical order  -> u to e, so it would return False. </p>
  
  <p>I was thinking of doing it as a for loop using indexing so [0] for u [:-1] for t, however I do want to be able to do this for words of any length so this method does not seem to work. Is there anything like .split() which can find the first and last character and so on moving inwards? </p>
