    coefx = random.randint(0,100)
    y = random.randint(0,100)
    coefy = random.randint(0,100)
    z = random.randint(0,100)
    coefz = random.randint(0,100)
elif diff == "Medium"or"medium"or"M"or"m":
    x = random.randint(400,500)
    coefx = random.randint(0,500)
    y = random.randint(0,500)
    coefy = random.randint(0,500)
    z = random.randint(0,500)
    coefz = random.randint(0,500)

if diff == "Easy" or "easy" or "E" or "e":

will always be true. You can only use "or" between true/false values, and non-empty strings are true. You can either switch to whole boolean expressions:

if diff == "Easy" or diff == "easy" or diff == "e" ...

or use a list:

if diff in ["Easy", "easy", "E", "e"]:
