    result = ''
    vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']

    for letter in word:
        if letter.lower not in vowels:
            result += letter

Hey o/

Your result string, I'd use a list instead.

Then, for every letter not in vowels, instead of using += letter, I'd look add it to that list with append.

Also, I believe it should be 

if letter.lower()

Really though, you only need to change the lower() bit for it to work, rest is just preference I suppose.

Hope this is helpful :smile:
