Please help

I just can't figure out that what is the mistake which I made in this code. The question is : 'Oops, I forgot that I will need to break out of the loop when the current item is on "STOP". Help me add that code! ' Now I can't figure out the mistake in the code which I have written below. Please find out the mistake and tell me if possible - A.S.A.P

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for word in items:
        print(word)
        if word == "STOP":
            break

They want you to not print the word (break out of the loop) if the word is STOP. You printed the word and then broke the loop.

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for word in items:
        if word == "STOP":
            break
        print(word)
