You are very close. There is a typo in the if statement:

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
            if item == "STOP":  # <-- changed to 'item'
                break
            print(item)

Hey there,

actually Chris and Ratik already gave you the right answer but just to make sure: Did you really change items to item in the condition of the if? Like so:

            if item == "STOP":

From the code you posted in your comment it seems that it's still items however it has to be item because items is the whole list and not just the current item the loop is iterating over.

There's a typo in your code. You're checking

if items == "STOP":
  ...

but you need to check 

if item == "STOP":
  ...

Hope that helps!
