This exact question has been asked, and although I followed the suggestion to remove the print out of the censored word, I'm still being rejected with the above "Bummer!" message. My preview output shows no sign of the censored words any more. Maybe somebody more experienced can spot my error?

# This is essentially what I am testing
1. The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).
a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.
2. The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.
a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word
3. The user is presented with the completed story
