Code works fine in workspace but not in challenge..

HI,

could someone please take a look at my code, it seems to work fine in workspace but I keep getting an error when trying to submit in the challenge ("Bummer! Hmm, got some vowels back) which I do not get in workspace.

I passed the challenge with a previous version which did not work in workspace, so I kept on debugging until I got this version which seems fine to me.

thanks a lot, S

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
    spltword = list(word)
    for letter in word:
        if letter in vowels:
            spltword.remove(letter)
    word = "".join(spltword)
    return word
