It looks right to me, it works as a script in my console but it's not passing the challenge

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        print(item)
        if item == "STOP":
            break

Hi there! Close, but take a good look at your logic. Right now you're printing the item and then asking if it was "STOP". You want to ask if it was "STOP" first. Otherwise it will also print "STOP" as an item. Try rearranging that a bit. Hope you can get it with these hints! :sparkles:

You are so right, in the console it printed stop, and then stopped. Thanks.
