The if/else conditional statement needs to be inside the for loop as it needs to check through each item.

I completed the challenge using the below code:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item == "STOP":
            break
        else:
            print(item)

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!

Bad indenting,and : missing in both if and else.

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if item.lower()=="stop":
            break
        print(item)
