Good attempt using symmetric_difference(), but there are a few issues. {word_a} and {word_b} create sets containing the whole word rather than sets of letters—you should use set(word_a) and set(word_b). Also, symmetric_difference() cannot be called on strings, and the function should return True or False instead of printing them. Finally, using sets alone may not correctly detect anagrams because duplicate letters are ignored. Please revise

Hi Julia! That is helpful feedback - thank you!! I wonder how I will know how to use the boolean is_case_sensitive? Should I search this up online?

[juliagallucci]

if is_case_sensitive is False, that means we dont care about case sensitivity and can convert all the letters in the word to the same casing, if is_case_sensitive is True, that means we do care about case sensitivity and you should keep the words as is.
