Challenge task not passing (didn't find right items to print)

I'm sure I'm missing at least 1 obvious mistake, but keep getting the error that the right items aren't being found.

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item[0] == 'a':
            continue
        else:
            print(items)

Hi there! Would you believe you're off by one character? Check your print line. You're printing out the items list for every iteration. But you should only be printing out the item ... not the list of items.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

I actually would believe that haha. I apparently confused myself (happens more than I'd like), but glad it was a simple fix. Thank you!!
