Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're right.. you're super close here. First, check your indentation. The if statement should be indented inside the for lop but it shouldn't be inside anything else. Secondly, if you fix that part, something else will be happening. You have the order set to print the item and then check if it's "STOP". This means that when it gets to "STOP" it will first print "STOP", which isn't exactly what they're wanting. They want you to stop printing the items when the word is equal to "STOP". Rethink the order of checking the word and printing the word.
Also, the line with print(word) does not need a colon at the end. It is a statement by itself and not beginning a block of code.
Hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck!
