As long as a piece of string
Santa likes his elves to read and has asked them to make a note of any words associated with Christmas in a shared spreadsheet. He doesn't love how long some of these are however. He has decided that the magic length of any word should be shortened to just five characters.
Your task is to look at each of the words. If a word is over five characters, you'll need to store the number of characters that this word exceeds Santa's limit.
For example, Jack Frost has a total of 10 characters, this is 5 over Santa's limit.
You'll need to do this for all the words in the list. Your total is your key.
For example:
strings = [ 'Crisp', 'Boughs of Holly', 'Turtleneck', 'Frost' ]
Crisp is 5 characters long so ignore.
Boughs of Holly is 15 characters long so the total at this point is 10.
Turtleneck is 10 characters long so the total now becomes 15.
Frost is 5 characters so ignore.
Your final total for this list is 15.
