I answered Task 1 which creates flexbox container. Task 2 asks to add property and value to change it to a multi-column layout. So I added flex-direction: column; and it says it is wrong. I have no spelling or syntax errors. help. can't get past it.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.row {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Flexbox Layout</title>

Susan White I think the problem might be in the interpretation of the instructions. It says to use the property that changes this to a multi-line, but in your question, you appear to have read that as multi-column.

The documentation on the property you are looking for can be found here :smiley:

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
