4,491 PointsYou need to insert this :
for vowel in vowels:
if vowel in _word:
And then you will compare to each vowel and not to the entire list of vowels.

Mathieu Bosmans
4,491 PointsBefore the if statement, you need to loop into the vowels list. Because in the if statement you compare a letter with the all list.

62,470 PointsMathieu Bosmans is right it's better to loop through the vowels than to loop through the _word list.
