If you were to indent lines 4 and 6, the syntax would be ok.

Please wrap code in Python tags (see the Python button in the editor).
Most likely you have an indentation error. This code runs:
string1=input("Enter a word: ")
string2=input("Please enter another word: ")
if len(string1) > len(string2):
print("True")
else:
print("false")
print("True" if len(string1) > len(string2) else "false")You can also use a ternary expression like that in the bottom line.
