Not getting the right answer. Can anyone please help?

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U']

    word_list = list(word)

    for letter in word:
        for vowel in vowels:
            try:
                word.remove(vowel)
            except ValueError:
                continue

Could be the letter in word loop. As you are removing a vowel in the word, that loop is no longer correct?

Hi Ali Looks like you are trying to use .remove() on a string in line 9. Try changing word to word_list. Hope this helps - I was stuck on this one for ages! :)
