Answer 2

name = "owusu rockey is the new king in town"
words = name.split()
maxLen = len(words[0]) #is a max lenght of the word
maxInx = 0 #is a index of the biggest word
for i in range(len(words)):
word = words[i]
if len(word) > maxLen:
maxInx = i
maxLen = len(word)

print(words[maxInx])

Answer 3

you probablly printed the max index word. you may need to check the len() of each word and compare them, then print whatever one has the same amount
