Removes the whitespaces and finds the secret word inside the rhyme in the horizontal

the coordinates in a list, as follows:
[row_start,column_start,row_end,column_end], where:

column_start = column number for the first letter of the word.

Counting of the rows and columns start from 1.
Input: Two arguments. A rhyme text as a string and a word as a string (lowercase).
Output: The coordinates of the word. """
