Extra-Terrestrials Challenge Alternate Solution

Question

For the above challenge (take a given word and output the word in reverse order), I came up with:

word = input()

alien_word = ""
g = -1

for i in range(len(word)):
alien_word = alien_word + word[g]
g -= 1

print(alien_word)

END

Does anyone have another solution or is there a simpler one? I would like to explore other ways of solving the same problem and obviously, simple is better so I would like to know if there is a better way. Thanks.
