Wouldn't a multi-line flex container use "column"? I thought this was a bug. "Wrap" is only multi-line if the viewing size changes, so on it's own it's a single line.

For that challenge it will not accept the flex-flow property. Only use

.row {
     display: flex;
     flex-wrap: wrap;
}

Nevertheless, that shorthand property is acceptable in application.

and remember the value wrap breaks the flex items into multiple lines
