How can len() function count the number of letters in a word entered by the user?

As the user inputs a different word the length of words will change so I am trying to store the .len() answer in a variable which is not working.

This is what I tried:

letter=input("TYPE A WORD--> ")
letter.upper()
NO=letter.len()
print (NO)

Though there is an error message saying:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 3, in \<module\>
NO=letter.len()
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'len'

There is no string.len() function in python. If you want to find the length of a string, you should use len(string) function. For example

NO = len(letter)
