Can't get past challenge task 2 and keep getting Bummer: you didn't use the document.write();. What am I doing wrong??

I put it in the code using the script and it's printing to the preview and displaying jasmine from the variable but keep getting that bummer

app.js 
var player = 'Jasmine'
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
  <script>
  document.write(player);
  </script>
</body>
</html>

You don't need to edit the html. Your document.write statement should go below your variable declaration in app.js.
