The main thing your program lacks is flexibility. Adding new puzzles
requires chaining together a series of if..else statements and creating
variables for each hint.
Here's my quick version. I store the puzzles and the hints in a two-tuple
sequence. Following this method you could easily add a

well that would definitely cause your error.
The string.split sends the list to a, but after that it's looking for
something to assign to l and there's nothing leftover from the command
for it to assign.
