exact string matching in two lists in python

Question

I need to match two lists one with characters and other with words My current code is:

char_list=['G','UH','D','S', 'ER', 'M', 'AY', 'S', 'EH', 'L', 'F', 'B', 'AE', 'NG', 'K']
word_list=['GUHD','MAORNIHNG','SER','MAY','SEHLF','BAENGK']


for word_p in word_list:
    scores = {}
    p_s=""
    if str(word_p) != "NULL":
        print(word_p)
        for j in char_list:
            if len(word_p) == len(p_s):
                print("word end")
                for i in scores.keys():
                    char_list.remove(i)
                break
            else:
                if j in word_p:
                    p_s=p_s+j
                    scores[j] = gop_scores.get(str(j))#this returns an integer value corresponding to char 

        sep_scores[str(word_p)] = scores 
print(sep_scores)

The current output is:-

*{'GUHD': {'G': 100.0, 'UH': 18.142809657631524, 'D': 61.62375099467158}, 'MAORNIHNG': {'M': 100.0, 'NG': 43.40719714138942}, 'SER': {'S': 100.0, 'ER': 100.0}, 'MAY': {'M': 100.0, 'AY': 100.0}, 'SEHLF': {'S': 100.0, 'EH': 89.72295878282416, 'L': 100.0, 'F': 0.0}, 'BAENGK': {'B': 7.166608749080874, 'AE': 68.10287800038276, 'NG': 43.40719714138942, 'K': 100.0}}}*

Note

Everything seems fine but there is no exact matching char for MAORNIHNG and still i am getting{'M','NG'}, I want the MAORNIHNG value to be empty

expected output

*{'GUHD': {'G': 100.0, 'UH': 18.142809657631524, 'D': 61.62375099467158}, 'MAORNIHNG': {}, 'SER': {'S': 100.0, 'ER': 100.0}, 'MAY': {'M': 100.0, 'AY': 100.0}, 'SEHLF': {'S': 100.0, 'EH': 89.72295878282416, 'L': 100.0, 'F': 0.0}, 'BAENGK': {'B': 7.166608749080874, 'AE': 68.10287800038276, 'NG': 43.40719714138942, 'K': 100.0}}}*

The 'MAORNIHNG' value should be empty dict

You just need to make sure that the dictionary keys form the entire word, and if not return an empty dict, you can do this by joining them and comparing:

char_list=['G','UH','D','S', 'ER', 'M', 'AY', 'S', 'EH', 'L', 'F', 'B', 'AE', 'NG', 'K']
word_list=['GUHD','MAORNIHNG','SER','MAY','SEHLF','BAENGK']

sep_scores={}
for word_p in word_list:
    scores = {}
    p_s=""
    if str(word_p) != "NULL":
        print(word_p)
        for j in char_list:
            if len(word_p) == len(p_s):
                print("word end")
                for i in scores.keys():
                    char_list.remove(i)
                break
            else:
                if j in word_p:
                    p_s=p_s+j
                    scores[j] = 1#this returns an integer value corresponding to char 
                    
        if ''.join(scores.keys()) == word_p:
            sep_scores[str(word_p)] = scores 
        else:
            sep_scores[str(word_p)] = {}
print(sep_scores)

>>> {'GUHD': {'G': 1, 'UH': 1, 'D': 1}, 'MAORNIHNG': {}, 'SER': {'S': 1, 'ER': 1}, 'MAY': {'M': 1, 'AY': 1}, 'SEHLF': {'S': 1, 'EH': 1, 'L': 1, 'F': 1}, 'BAENGK': {'B': 1, 'AE': 1, 'NG': 1, 'K': 1}}
