I have used the + and $ to mark the beginning and end of the word but I don't know how to put it into compile without a syntax error. What keeps happening is the match will find the bigger word too, I just want the exact match.
>>> mumu = ["act", "magic", "lose", "dance"]
>>> matcher = ["That is a terrible actor", "This is the first act", "It works like magic", "That's because he is a magician", "Don't be afraid to lose", "Don't be a loser", "Try this dance", "It won't make you a dancer"]

... dul = len(second)
... milly = cycle(second)
... for y in range(dul):
... t = re.compile(next(milly))
... for i in first:
... print(t)
... if re.search(t, i) != None:
... print(i)
... dul -= 1
... continue
... else:
... print("try again")
... dul -= 1
... continue
... continue
And the result is
re.compile('act')
That is a terrible actor
re.compile('act')
This is the first act
