Help solving disemvowel exercise the way Treehouse wants

Hello,

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to solve this simple question. I have a solution (attached) that works for any string I enter when testing in Python (ie. it removes all the vowels of the word). However, Treehouse doesn't recognize this.

I understand that I may not have used the simplest code, but it works and the instructions say to solve any way I want.

Any help is appreciated

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    word = word.lower()
    vowels = list("aeiou")
    for char in vowels:
        if char in word:
            word = word.replace(char, "")
    return word

Hi there! Your code just needs some slight adjustments. What if I added this statement to the instructions? Do this task without changing the original casing of the word. For example, if I send in "Balloon", I would expect to get back "Blln". Instead, what your code gives back is "blln".

Take another shot with this hint in mind! :sparkles:
