Hello.. can't figure out why this wouldn't pass. I tested in workspace and seems to working fine.
def disemvowel(word):
word_list = list(word)
vowels = "aeiou"
for vowel in vowels:
while True:
try:
word_list.remove(vowel)
except ValueError:
break
for vowel in vowels:
while True:
try:
word_list.remove(vowel.upper())
except ValueError:
break
return word_list

It's easy to misinterpret the results when testing challenges externally.
In this case, the challenge is expecting a string but you are returning a list.

4,513 PointsThanks Steven. I changed the last statement to "return str(word_list)", but still getting the same error !!
Bummer! Hmm, got back letters I wasn't expecting!
