I think you totally misunderstood the metaclass concept. A class is an
instance of its metaclass, that is, a metaclass is the "thing" used to
create a new class. You don't even use (custom) classes in your example.
If you want to make a more generic function, that is, something that works
for other letters instead of just 'a', you want a function parameter:
> >>> def testing(searched_letter):
> ... for word in wordPool:
....
and replace all occurences of 'a' with searched_letter, and 'aaa' with
searched_letter*3
Usage: testing('a'), it should give the same results as before. Try
testing('e') etc.
