That's really odd. Because it seems like you did. If I take your first example and change the lower case L to a one (1), it passes! Take a look:

var1 = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "t"] 

Give it another shot with exactly this code. Hope this helps! :sparkles:

I'd prefer that you start a new question for that so that we can keep the Community nice and neat with questions and answers sorted into their appropriate categories and linked to the correct challenges. Thanks! :sparkles:

You can use:

var1 = 'kenneth'

or

var1 = 'tought'

or

var1 = "00000t00000"

As long as the index for "t" is 5

Remember that from left to right the index starts at 0.

For example:

var1 = 'kenneth'
        ^^^^^^^
        0123456 #here the "t" is at index 5

If for some reason the variable looks like this:

var1 = 'kenneht'
        ^^^^^^^
        0123456 #here the "t" is at index 6

Hope it helps.

Cheers.
