Hi Elias,

You are nearly correct. The only issue is you will need to use a "for in" loop to complete this challenge. Here is the code I used to pass this challenge below:

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

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!

Hi Thomas Fildes , Elias Helander any chance you could help me understand what is happing in these lines?

for item in items:
        if item[0] == "a":

I must have missed something in previous lessons ,because I don't understand where item[0] is coming from. Now that I type it out, my guess is that that is first item, since counting begins with 0.

Thanks
