Code Challenge - Shortcode Start and End Buffer

I am on step 3 of 4 of the Code Challenge - How to Create a Wordpress Shortcode. I am not sure that I am doing wrong when starting and ending the buffer. Help please?

<?php

function my_plugin_shortcode($atts, $content = null ) {

   // code removed for steps 1-2 of the code challenge

  ob_start();
  require('inc/font-end.php');
  $content = ob_get_clean();
}

?>

I believe you have "front-end.php" misspelled. :)

Oh, my! I was so focused on starting and ending the buffering that I missed the obvious. Thank you :)
