Treehouse TeacherHi there! I'm not sure if you're on Step 1 or Step 2 of the challenge. If you're working on step 1 you'll need to remove the if statement. Step 1 only requires that we print out each individual items in the items list. You've chosen to name each individual item words. That should be what you're printing out.
If you're working on step 2 the same thing applies as step 1. Your item is named words. But you're comparing item to "STOP". But the variable item is undefined in your code. You only have defined wordsand items. Also, check your order and indentation. The check for the words being equal to "STOP" needs to come first, otherwise it will print out "STOP" as well. And the if statement should be indented inside the for loop.
I think you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck!

Treehouse TeacherAt this point, I'm unsure what your code looks like and if it might be simply an indentation error. But using the variable names you defined, this is how the completed code looked:
Note this is for Step 2 and will not pass Step 1. We start by defining a function named
loopythat takes a list nameditems. For every individual item namedwordswe will comparewordsto "STOP". If the item in the items list is "STOP" we break without printing anything. Otherwise we print the item or, as you named it,words.Hope this clarifies things!
