python 3.x - Multiple if conditions comparing to one -

searched around bit , can't find exact problem way want fix it.

what best way shorten if statement when having many conditions vs 1 check in python 3?

example:

if "a" in word or "b" in word or "c" in word etc...:     *do this*

what more correct/shorter way this? not want loop through. (i.e. in whatever check if in whatever)

i've seen other examples like:

if {"a", "b", "c", etc...} in {word}:     *do this*

if ("a" or "b" or "c" etc....) in word:     *do this*

none of these work. please help!

you may use any built-in function.

any(iterable)

return true if element of iterable true. if iterable empty, return false.

any(s in word s in {'a', 'b', 'c'})
