What should the output look like?
You should see counts of lines/words/letters/vowels, the longest word, and top 5 most-common letters.

How this works
Counter from collections is a dict that counts things for you. List comprehensions with if filter what you don't want. max(words, key=len) finds the longest word — same trick as sorted.
Your turn — try these
- 1Count how many words start with each letter of the alphabet.
- 2Add the average word length in letters.
- 3Detect if the text looks like a poem (short lines) or prose (long lines).
