It's not clear what conditions should be met to pass the challenge.

Does anyone know?

Second. Here is my solution. Is it good? What to change?

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    vowels_to_remove = ["a", "e", "i", "o","u"]
    word_list = list(word)
    for vowel_to_remove in vowels_to_remove:
        while True:
            try:
                word_list.remove(vowel_to_remove)
            except ValueError:
                break
        while True:
            try:
                word_list.remove(vowel_to_remove.upper())
            except ValueError:
                break
    word = ''.join(word_list)
    return word

Your code seems to pass the challenge as-is! :+1:

You have obviously met all the conditions.

It would make no difference to passing the challenge, but if you wanted to make the code more compact you could eliminate one of the loops if you add uppercase vowels to the vowels_to_remove list.
