Try this:

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

Good luck! ~alex

You are very close, however you've got an extra loop in there.

The "while" loop is unnecessary, you've got a "for ... in" loop to do the work here.

So if you remove the while loop, then think about your If/Else statement. We need the loop to skip something IF a certain value is one of the elements it finds, ELSE we need to print the value of the element we are on. Try it on your own without looking at my code, but if you can't, here is passing code. Try to figure out why this code passes and yours doesn't:

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