is python string length challenge working?

Near as I can tell I have met the challenge requirements, but it still gives me bummer. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

strlen.py 
def just_right(word):

    if len(word) < 5:
        print("Your string is too short")
    elif len(word) > 5:
        print("Your string is too long")
    else:
        return True

I figured it out. Challenge asked for "return" and I tried to print. Updated to return sentence string instead of print.
