Add-ons

Example text file

Put each word on a new line

cat

dog

robot

paper

Read from text file

words.txt is the name of the text file

words_list is a list that we write the words from the file to

.split() how the words are separated in the text file

file = open("words.txt", "r")
words_list = file.read().split('\n')
