I have a file with a matrix that is my wordsearch and some words that i need to find in it.

O   T   N   E   G   R   A   S   A   E

R   N   N   C   O   R   A   L   L   O

O   A   I   B   L   U   E   E   V   G

U   T   O   R   E   N   T   I   I   A

V   I   O   L   E   T   T   O   O   R

O   C   R   A   R   I   A   E   L   O

D   A   B   I   M   A   L   V   A   P

I   P   C   I   E   L   O   G   L   R

C   O   R   P   O   S   O   U   A   O

A   P   I   E   N   O   M   I   L   P

For the solution I have thought about something like that:

 with open('cp5_Colori.txt', 'r') as f:

        import pprint

        data=f.read().replace("t","")

        A=

        B=set()

        data=data.split("nn")

        word_list=data[1].split()

        lista_orizzontale=data[0].split()

        puzzle=[list(row) for row in lista_orizzontale]

        for parola in word_list:

            for lista in puzzle:

                x=puzzle.index(lista)

                for carattere in lista:

                    y=lista.index(carattere)

                    if carattere.upper() == parola[0]:

                        for direction in [(1,0),(1,1),(0,1),(-1,1),(-1,0),(-1,-1),(0,-1),(1,-1)]:

                            (dx, dy) = direction

                            for i in range(len(parola)):

                                if ((x+dx*i)<len(puzzle)) and ((y+dy*i)<len(lista)) == True:

                                    if puzzle[x+dx*i][y+dy*i].upper()== parola[i]:

                                        puzzle[x+dx*i][y+dy*i]=puzzle[x+dx*i][y+dy*i].lower()















        pprint.pprint(puzzle)

To solve the puzzle you need to search and then delete from the wordsearch all the OCCURRENCES (if multiple) of the words in the list.

The letters of the diagram that will remain, taken all in their order by rows and by columns, they will form the solution of the game.
I don't know how to continue and how to find the solution that is "SANGUEBLU"

Given the following initialization:

puzzle = [l.split() for l in '''O   T   N   E   G   R   A   S   A   E

R   N   N   C   O   R   A   L   L   O

O   A   I   B   L   U   E   E   V   G

U   T   O   R   E   N   T   I   I   A

V   I   O   L   E   T   T   O   O   R

O   C   R   A   R   I   A   E   L   O

D   A   B   I   M   A   L   V   A   P

I   P   C   I   E   L   O   G   L   R

C   O   R   P   O   S   O   U   A   O

A   P   I   E   N   O   M   I   L   P'''.splitlines()]



word_list = '''ACIDO

The following code will solve your problem:

from itertools import product

removals = 

for word in word_list:

    for row in range(len(puzzle)):

        for col in range(len(puzzle[row])):

            for dr, dc in product(range(-1, 2), repeat=2):

                if dr or dc:

                    removal = 

                    for i in range(len(word)):

                        r = row + dr * i

                        c = col + dc * i

                        if not (0 <= r < len(puzzle) and 0 <= c < len(puzzle[row])) or puzzle[r][c] != word[i]:

                            break

                        removal.append((r, c))

                    else:

                        removals.append(removal)

for removal in removals:

    for row, col in removal:

        puzzle[row][col] = None

print(''.join(char for row in puzzle for char in row if char))

This outputs:

SANGUEBLU

Once you downcased the letter using your code, you can get the result by:

crossed = [['o', 't', 'n', 'e', 'g', 'r', 'a', 'S', 'a', 'e'], ['r', 'n', 'n', 'c', 'o', 'r', 'a', 'l', 'l', 'o'], ['o', 'a', 'i', 'b', 'l', 'u', 'e', 'e', 'v', 'g'], ['U', 't', 'o', 'r', 'e', 'n', 't', 'i', 'i', 'a'], ['v', 'i', 'o', 'l', 'e', 't', 't', 'o', 'o', 'r'], ['o', 'c', 'r', 'a', 'r', 'i', 'a', 'e', 'l', 'o'], ['d', 'a', 'b', 'i', 'm', 'a', 'l', 'v', 'a', 'p'], ['i', 'p', 'c', 'i', 'e', 'l', 'o', 'G', 'l', 'r'], ['c', 'o', 'r', 'p', 'o', 's', 'o', 'U', 'a', 'o'], ['a', 'p', 'i', 'e', 'n', 'o', 'm', 'i', 'l', 'p']]



import re

result = ''.join([ ''.join(line) for line in crossed ])

print(result)

hidden_word = ''.join(re.findall(r'[A-Z]', result))

print (hidden_word) #=> SUGU

But it seems you code downcased too many words.
