file = open('textfile.txt','w')
word = ''
while word.upper() != 'END':
     word = raw_input('Enter a word use END to quit')
     file.write(word + '\n')
file.close

Answer 1

def display_words():
    with open("textfile.txt", "r") as file:
        number = 1
        for word in file:
            print(number, word.rstrip("\n"))
            number += 1

 display_words()

Each line is read sequentially and displayed with its serial number.
