When I try out my code in the workspace with an example list it does what I think it is asking: prints every item, unless that item is "a". But the Challenge is telling me that this is wrong.
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
if item == "a":
continue
else:
print(item)

29,567 PointsIt needs to have an if statement that checks the index of zero in your current item in your loop, like this:
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if item[0] == 'a':
continue
else:
print(item)

6,400 PointsAh, didn't see it was asking for the first letter of an item. Thanks.
