Not sure what is wrong with my solution - Python Collections print challenge

I tried the solution below, which I think outputs the correct information, but I just get a response that says Bummer! Didn't get the right output. Can I get some direction on what I'm doing wrong here?

"OK, here's a...weird...set of tiles. I need you to loop through TILES and print out each item. Print each item on the same line unless the item is a double pipe (||). In that case, instead of printing the item, print a new line (\n). Use the end argument to print() to control whether things print on a new line or not."

TILES = ('-', ' ', '-', ' ', '-', '||', '', '|', '', '|', '', '|', '||', '&', ' ', '', ' ', '||', ' ', ' ', ' ', '^', ' ', '||' )

for tile in TILES: if tile != '||': output = tile else: output = "\n" print(output, end="")

mapping.py 
TILES = ('-', ' ', '-', ' ', '-', '||',
         '_', '|', '_', '|', '_', '|', '||',
         '&', ' ', '_', ' ', '||',
         ' ', ' ', ' ', '^', ' ', '||'
)

for tile in TILES:
    if tile != '||':
        output = tile
    else:
        output = "\n"
    print(output, end="")

I find this post perfect fit.

Correct output:

- - -                                                                                                                                                             

_|_|_|                                                                                                                                                            

& _

Incorrect output:

- - -                                                                                                                                                             
_|_|_|                                                                                                                                                            
& _
