IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level (disemvowel.py, line 4)

Hello, I am doing the challenge and I stuck on indentation Error before even checking if this is correct. Does anyone see where I have a mistake? where Can I learn indentation error and syntax error removal???

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    for word in disemvowel:
        word.remove('a','e','i','o','u','A','E','I','O','U')
    return word

Where do you get the indicate of an indentation error? You've got some issues here, but indentation doesn't seem to be one of them.

When I try your code in the challenge it says, "Bummer: TypeError: 'function' object is not iterable". This makes sense, because the function name is being used in the loop. You won't need the function name inside the function.

A few other hints:

  • the argument is a string, but "remove" only works on lists
  • also, "remove" only takes one argument
  • you'll want to return something other than the original "word"
