Why does this work in repl.it but not pass the challenge on here?

???

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    split = list(word.lower())
    king = []
    vowels = list("aeiou")
    new_word = []
    for x in split:
        if x in vowels:
            king.append(x)
        else:
            new_word.append(x)
    return("".join(new_word))

you are lowering the consonants which the challenge does not ask for. remove vowels is all you need to do. relocate your lower() so you don't affect the consonants.
