When writing code, it is good to start with one or more input-output 
pairs that constitute a test. For example, what, exactly, do you want to 
result from
    "Some special words are ALLCAPS, TitleCase, and MIXed."

It is also good to think about all relevant cases. Note the following:
 >>> 'MIXed'.isupper() or 'MIXed'.istitle()
False

Do you want punctuation stripped off words? You might skip that at first.
