You are trying to be too clever here, you don't need
the loop.

words is the original string so your filter will
only receive the full string each time. But you
can remove the loop and just use:

 return filter(lambda x: len(x) > n, words.split())

Bob has already addressed your problem of reading
n from raw_input().

BTW
Nowadays this would more commonly be done using a list
comprehension rather than reduce. I don't know if you
have covered comprehensions yet?
