title: Python 3.3.2 - Creating a List of the Length of Words
body: <p>I have a string of words with punctuation, let's say for example...</p>
  
  <pre><code>string = 'Did the quick brown fox *really* jump over the fence?'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have filtered out the punctuation, so it is now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'Did the quick brown fox really jump over the fence'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I have split it up into a list.</p>
  
  <pre><code>list = string.split()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, with <code>list</code>, I now need to count the length of each word into a list, with the length of the list being the longest word. The setting out of the list will be as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>lengthList = [1_letter_words, 2_letter_words, 3_letter_words, ...]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, for <code>string</code>, it would be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>lengthList = [0, 0, 4, 2, 3, 1]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, I am having trouble doing this. Can anyone please provide any assistance?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
