Tell us what’s happening:

text = ‘Hello World’
shift = 3
alphabet = ‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz’
encrypted_text = ‘’

for char in text.lower():
if char == ’ ':
index = alphabet.find(char)
new_index = index + shift
encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
print(‘char:’, char, ‘encrypted text:’, encrypted_text)
encrypted_text += char

Your code so far

text = 'Hello World'

    index = alphabet.find(char)
    new_index = index + shift
    encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
    print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text)
   encrypted_text += char

The encrypted_text += char statement is correct but it has been placed in the wrong location. Try to place it after the if char == ' ': condition. Ensure that you give it the proper indentation that belongs to the if block.
