List index splitting

I am trying to return a sentence length <= of a list index using the split() method. If i input the exact length of a certain index, this works but < doesn't seem to do anything. Here is my code:

stories = [['With bloody hands, I say good-bye.'],
['TIME MACHINE REACHES                FUTURE!!! ... nobody there ...'],
["Not In My Job Description: Make sure it's done by the end of the day Jones.\nBut, sir, it's not in my ....\nJust do it, and remember, no blood."]]

def len_sentence():
    search = int(input("Enter int"))
    for i in stories:
        len1 = (i[0][0:].split(' '))
        if len(len1) <= search:
            print(i)
len_sentence()

User input of integers 1-5 returns nothing. If I replace <= with >= this works. Why doesn't < do anything?

The inputs you're trying are too small. The shortest story you have there is 6 words long, so inputs 1-5 won't match anything. The code looks fine to me though, it's just your search inputs.
