what that does is save the vowels to a string 2 creates a list of each letter in the word - (did this cos lists are mutable and strings aren't) 3 runs through each word in the list, checking to see if it is contained in the vowels variable('aeiou') if it is, remove it. if not, on to the next 4 returns the list which is what's left after removing vowels and joining back together
Sorry if it's not well formatted. first time answering a question. lol!

Treehouse Guest Teacherword is a string and strings are immutable, so you can't do word.remove(), as the word can't be changed in place.
