It is because words is not defined

You need to change the variable word to be words

This is the correct code:

type_here = input('>')
words = type_here.split()
morse_code = {
    'a'.upper(): "._",
    'b'.upper(): "_...",
    'c'.upper(): "_._.",
    'd'.upper(): "_..",
    'e'.upper(): ".",
    'f'.upper(): ".._.",
    'g'.upper(): "__.",
    'h'.upper(): "....",
    'i'.upper(): "..",
    'j'.upper(): ".___",
    'k'.upper(): "_._",
    'l'.upper(): "._..",
    'm'.upper(): "__",
    'n'.upper(): "_.",
    'o'.upper(): "___",
    'p'.upper(): ".__.",
    'q'.upper(): "__._",
    'r'.upper(): "._.",
    's'.upper(): "_",
    't'.upper(): "...",
    'u'.upper(): ".._",
    'v'.upper(): "..._",
    'w'.upper(): ".__",
    'x'.upper(): "_.._",
    'y'.upper(): "_.__",
    'z'.upper(): "__..",
    ' ': '/'


}
output = " "
for word in words:
    output += morse_code.get(word, word) + ' '
print(output)

type_here = input('> ')
words = type_here.split()

morse_code = {
    'A': "._",
    'B': "_...",
    'C': "_._.",
    'D': "_..",
    'E': ".",
    'F': ".._.",
    'G': "__.",
    'H': "....",
    'I': "..",
    'J': ".___",
    'K': "_._",
    'L': "._..",
    'M': "__",
    'N': "_.",
    'O': "___",
    'P': ".__.",
    'Q': "__._",
    'R': "._.",
    'S': "...",
    'T': "_",
    'U': ".._",
    'V': "..._",
    'W': ".__",
    'X': "_.._",
    'Y': "_.__",
    'Z': "__..",
    ' ': '/'
}

output = []

for word in words:
    for letter in word.upper():
        output.append(morse_code.get(letter, letter))
    output.append('/')  # Separate words with '/'

# Join the Morse code output with spaces and strip any trailing '/'
output_text = ' '.join(output).strip(' /')
print(output_text)

Not sure but the code Bashmega gave didn't work (at least for me, not sure if somehow it works on his machine) but;

This also allows multiple words and cycles through each letter nicely, It then translates it to morse code and puts it back together, I added a separation after each word so that might come in handy when trying to decode it

[muted karma]

I think you're trying to search up whole words in that dictionary instead of letters, thus it reverts back to what input it got

I just fixed the error

[muted karma]

Oh, in that code too?

[raw halo]

The error was that words was undefined

[muted karma]

oh mb

yeah you fixed that error
