See original GitHub issueFind the Longest Word in a String
Issue Description

No bug, it doesn’t affect the completion of the challenge. It’s purely for clarity. I was going to suggest fixing as I too am looking for something like this as I’ve never contributed before but if @usmandap has called first then I don’t mind.
@d33con Thanks bro and sure I will give it a try.
