Why it won't pass?

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):

    word = list(word)
    start = 0
    end = len(word) - 1

    for char in word[start:end] :

        try: 

            if char.lower() in ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"]:
                word.remove(char)

        except ValueError:
            pass
    word = ''.join(word)
    return word

You're cutting off the end of the word before you start.

Remember, a slice stops one index less than the end value.

But if you're using the slice to make a copy, you don't need to calculate any positions, just leave the leave out the values for the slice entirely:

    for char in word[:]:
