@classmethod won't return instance

Not clear on why my method is not passing the challenge. I don't see any syntactic errors. The error I get is not very specific: Bummer: Try Again!

morse.py
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.pattern

    def __str__(self):
        output = []
        for blip in self:
            if blip == '.':
                output.append('dot')
            else:
                output.append('dash')
        return '-'.join(output)

    @classmethod
    def from_string(cls, string):
        morse_code = []
        code = string.split("-")
        for char in code:
            if char == 'dash':
                morse_code.append('_')
            else:
                morse_code.append('.')
        return cls(morse_code)


    class S(Letter):
        def __init__(self):
            pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
            super().__init__(pattern)

Your code passes the challenge just fine,. I issue is that the challenge bot is messed up - try restarting the challenge and even restarting your browser.
