Why did you think that?
Python has a very specific (and small) set of keywords that have 
special meaning - things like for, while and print

But you can call variables pretty much whatever you like and 
Python will be happy. In fact the more meaningful the better, 
so letter is a very good choice.

Current letter: p
Current letter: y

chic: p
chic: y

They are not the same results, one says 'letter' and the other 
says 'chic', just as you told it to. In every other respect your 
code is identical so the output is identical. Python just does 
what you tell it to, it is not actually intelligent, it just interprets 
the commands you give it.
