4,486 PointsBug with challenge task 4 of 6 in strings methods part 2
There seems to be a problem with the challenge. When I try to add in the correct .subStr(10, 5); to quick on line 21, it says that I have an error on the first challenge and that I have to go back and fix it. I can't seem to get past this part of the challenge.

The substring method is .substr(), without any capital letters. Try the challenge again without the uppercase S in your method and it should work!

3,521 PointsI'm having the same issue, and I didn't use caps.
var wordBrown = quick.substr(9, 6);
The error is also confusing: Bummer! Was expecting the string of 'brown' but got ' brown'
--Those look the same to me.
