[Tutor] Semantic Error: Trying to access elements of list and append to empty list with for loop

Hi Tutor, I'm trying to parse words in a file line by line and place all words into another list but I keep getting a list with nested lists. I would normally pore over it and go to google and fix my problems but this one escapes me and frankly, I'm tired of being stuck in the same place for
