Vowels = ("a, "e", "i", "o", "u")

def disemvowel(word):
          word = letters[]
          for letter in word:
              if letter.lower() in a vowels:

Hi there, you are very close. Take a look at this line : word = letters[] to make word into a list so that you can use the remove function you need to do something like:

word = list(word)

Also, the if statement should read :

if letter.lower() in vowels:

Hope this is helpful

Hi Stuart,

Thanks, there is progress, but still not passing.

vowels = ("a", "e", "i", "o", "u")

def disemvowel(word): word = list(word) for letter in word: if letter.lower() in vowels: word.remove(letters) return word

hi there, from what I can read above - have you used letters instead of letter?

word.remove(letters)
