Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What went well in your code style, such as indentation, spacing, variable names, readability, etc.? What was lacking?	I think indentation, spacing, and readability went well. I think I could use some work on variable names, and making my code more efficient/DRY.
How did creating the is_vowel? method affect your project?	It made my code cleaner, and made checking if a character was a vowel much more efficient.
What was your strategy for getting the correct set of letters from the first word into the portmanteau?	I used the reverse and each_char methods to iterate through the characters of the first word, starting at the last letter and working towards the front letter. I then checked each letter using the is_vowel? method to check if the letter was a vowel. If it wasn't a vowel it added a -1 to a counter variable (count). Then I printed the word to the console by using an index of 0 to the number of consonants minus one (to account for getting rid of the last vowel as well).
What was your strategy for validating against inputs under 2 characters?	I created a method that printed an error message and another prompt for user input if the input was less than 2 letters. I then ran it after prompting for user input.
In the next project, what would you change about your process? What would you keep doing?	I would definitely be more open to admitting I am struggling and ask for help sooner. I would keep taking deep breaths and reminding myself that I'm not a quitter and that things will get done.

Since .include? returns true or false you could simplify this with:

return ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"].include?(letter)

Nice work breaking user input into a a separate reusable method.
