Fantastic Anagrams and Where to Find Them

def betterAnagramIst(fword, sword):
  """ fword and sword are the first_word and the second_word respectively """
  # messages
  negative = "The two words are not anagrams"
  positive = "The two words " + str(fword) + " , " + str(sword) +" are anagrams"

  #my interview implementation::

  #first, do a check to compare the lengths:
  if len(fword) != len(sword):
    return negative
  else:
    #sort the two words and check for equality
    fword_sorted = ''.join(sorted(fword))
    sword_sorted = ''.join(sorted(sword)) 

    if fword_sorted == sword_sorted:
      return positive
    return negative
    ##Aand voila! a solution!
