Sigh.  Oops.  Make that:

for x,letter in enumerate("hello"):
    print (x, " ", letter)

You definitely should start doing it this way.  It's more "pythonic" and
also cleaner and easier to understand when you're reading the code later.

Also you did add Y to your list of vowels, but what about words that
have no vowels and no Y?  Maybe not real words, but things that might be
likely to be in sentences:  "I am from Washington, DC"

It's way better to fix your logic so you have a fall-back.  Hint: Set
pigword before your enter the loop so that it always contains
_something_, preferably the original word!
