Hi Bethany,

Your code is correct but the indentation is the issue. Now, your indentation is relatively correct (the logic is fine), but you are using 2 spaces instead of 4. You'll notice if you copy and paste your code into the challenge, the for keyword is not red like the other keywords. The Python challenges default to a 4-space indentation so make sure you use the 'tab' key rather than hitting 2 spaces.

Good luck!
