Here, try this:

full_name = "Adam Sandler"
name_list = full_name.split()

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]
greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)

I think the issue is that task 3 asked you to swap 'treehouse' for the first item of the name list, which I did using list indices. Other than that, your code looks fine!

The challenge asks you to add just the first element of 

name_list

to the string that you split into 

greeting_list,

and you're presently using your full name. Fix that and it should work.
