Please support me: I have no clue why it says "Try again".

Hello. I am guessing that the message "Bummer :Try again" is because of the 'word' in just_right(word).

Could you tell me what is wrong in the function?

Thank you previously!

strlen.py 
def just_right(word):

    count = len(list(word))

    if count < 5:
        print("Your string is too short")
    if count > 5:
        print("Your string is too long")
    else:
        return(True)

The challenge is asking you to return value not print them. Hope it helps you.
