Description

For this challenge:

> You're getting good at this! Looks like you need more of a challenge...maybe instead of putting a name in a box, the name should be the box? Write a program that outputs this:

```
+World+
W W
o o
r r
l l
d d
+World+
```

I wrote the following code:
```
name = 'World'
nameWPluses = '+' + name + '+'
print(nameWPluses)
for char in name:
char = char + ' ' + char
print(char)
print(nameWPluses)
```
And my output matches the expected solution (including prompt at the very end):
```
+World+
W W
o o
r r
l l
d d
+World+
>>>
```

And while the code works, it doesn't accept the solution. The debugger makes it look as if there are too many spaces, then when I remove one of the five spaces, the debugger shows that it doesn't have enough.

After looking at the first hint, I noticed that you're expecting a for loop to be used to build up the 5 spaces, that's what I'll work next, but regardless wanted to report this.
