Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
i’ve tried replacing offset with key, and it didnt work either

Your code so far

/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3

def vignere(message, key):
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    encrypted_text = ''

    for char in message.lower():
        if char == ' ':
            encrypted_text += char
        else:
            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
    print('plain text:', message)
    print('encrypted text:', encrypted_text)
vignere()

/* User Editable Region */

@wdkvc

def vignere(message, key):

your spelling of vigenere is missing an e
try that
and you also wrote a function call on the bottom, which I don’t think is required for this challenge.
