Hi George

At the moment your code is looking for a word in a function, you need to check each letter in the word.

hint

#convert word to lowercase
# check each letter in the word
for letter in word:  #  not for word in disemvowel
  # do something

dont want to solve the challenge for you, rather point you in the right direction
