Cartographer: I have 2 player "X" on map, not sure why...?

Here is my code, I followed along but I am getting two player locations, not sure why

def draw_map(player):
    print(" _" * 5)
    tile = "|{}"

    for cell in CELLS:
        x, y = cell
        if x < 4:
            line_end = ""
            if cell == player:
                output = tile.format("X")
            else:
                output = tile.format("_")
        else:
            line_end = "\n"
            if cell == player:
                output = tile.format("X|")
            else:
                output = tile.format("_|")
        print(output, end=line_end)

I figured out the issue, I had duplicates/typos in my CELLS tuple, correct list is

CELLS = [(0, 0), (1, 0), (2, 0), (3, 0), (4, 0),
         (0, 1), (1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1),
         (0, 2), (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4, 2),
         (0, 3), (1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 3), (4, 3),
         (0, 4), (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4), (4, 4),]

This is a great example of why it's important to include the whole code with a question. Since the CELLS array wasn't originally shown, it would not have been possible for anyone to find the cause of the issue!

Thanks for the re-assurance on that. I felt like I was including too much code but I will keep this in mind in the future to just include all my code

When using the workspaces, you can always include a link to a "snapshot" which contains all the code but doesn't take up any room in the question.
