Count words with the letter 'w' in them but only the(almost done)

Question

So the goal is to count the number of words in the sentence with the letter 'w', and I have written the code to count the number of w's but I can't get it to count the words in total.

items = ["whirring", "wow!", "calendar", "wry", "glass", "", "llama","tumultuous","owing"]
items = str(items)
acc_num = 0
for i in items:
    if i in ['w']:
        acc_num += 1
print(items)

Okay, let me elaborate... after you've removed the `items = str(items)`, click the question I linked, read it, and apply the solution to your code. — Aran-Fey, Mar 27 '19 at 20:57

Just check if the letter w is in the word.

items = ["whirring", "wow!", "calendar", "wry", "glass", "", "llama","tumultuous","owing"]

count = 0
for i in items:
    if "w" in i:
        count +=1
