  <p>Its been stumping me despite my initial thoughts that it would be simple. </p>
  
  <p>Originally, I thought I would have have it print the elements of the string backwards by using  slicing to have it go from the last letter to the first.</p>
  
  <p>But nothing I've tried works. The code is only a couple lines so I don't think I will post it. Its extraordinarily frustrating to do. </p>
  
  <p>I can only use the " for ", "while", "If" functions. And I can use tuples. And indexing and slicing. But thats it. Can somebody help? </p>
  
  <p>(I tried to get every letter in the string to be turned into a tuple, but it gave me an error. I was doing this to print the tuple backwards which just gives me the same problem as the first)</p>
  
  <p>I <strong>do not know what the last letter of the word could be, so I have no way of giving an endpoint for it to count back from. Nor can I seem to specify that the first letter be last and all others go before it.</strong></p>
