Be careful, the answer is in the task itself. Why did you leave the input out of the loop? What needs to be done so that the cycle always repeats?

Buzi Chaban , as already mentioned by Solo , we need to take the input inside the while loop. > there is also this issue: do not use ’ ‘ this special quotation marks for creating strings, python requires single or double quotes around strings like 'hello' or "hello" > based on your code, i prepared a basic input procedure. you can try and adapt it to your needs with the atrached file: https://code.sololearn.com/c5jQYPxMgZ02/?ref=app

Lothar, Solo, it maybe best to describe how string formatting works as this topic is not covered in SoloLearn. To use a formatting string with f-string, we put the variable inside curly brackets. An example: word = 'abc' print(f'Variable of word: {word}') # Variable of word: abc f-string also works with triple quote. Inside triple quote there is no need for \n to break the line. \n is needed when using single / double quote if you want it output multiple lines. I made a code bits about string function days back. You may want to take a look and see how it can be useful. (Although it doesn't cover triple quote) https://code.sololearn.com/c81oGO8Ygckc/?ref=app

Lothar, that's right, but there is another inaccuracy: "the str() function is not needed here, since data input is already the default string type."

Thanks for the help. I think I got it. zin = 'Utter the secret word, friend, and thy shall pass... ' key = 'stop' print(zin) while True: word = input() if word != key: print(zin) else: print('Thank you, come again!') break

Buzi Chaban, excellent, you have completed the task almost independently demonstrating the knowledge that you possess today. You can leave your code and take a look at it after some time to compare your future progress, but nevertheless it's still worth spending a little more time to fix this topic and try to shorten this code, especially since you have already been kindly provided Lothar layout to this task. Successful coding!...🖐️😎

while (input() != "word"): print("Enter word: ") # rest of your logic here

Wong Hei Ming, that's right, but you can format without the format() method, but it has much more features. Example: greeting = '"...This is the %s\n of the %s."'%(names[2],owner[2]) print('\n\n{:_^36}\n\n'.format('Hi bro!'),greeting,'\n\n{:>36}'.format('Solo'))

Solo, I intentionally omit % style for a few reasons. 1. I'm not very familiar with that style. 2. It has many notations. 3. Format() methid is consist with other method mentioned in the course, such as str.lower(). A object.method() approach is easier to understand.
