Confused!

So I was getting this error: "Bummer! Make sure you reverse the order of the arguments. You'll need to specify the variable name before each argument"

And I added $size and $color to the beginning but it's still not working. Help please! Thanks!

style.scss 
@mixin square($size:$size, $color:$color:black) {
  border: 1px solid $color;
  height:$size;
  width:$size;
};

.box {
  @include square(50px, red);
}

Hey, you are doing fine. Sometimes we get stuck a little. This is what they want

@mixin square($size, $color) {
  border: 1px solid $color;
  height:$size;
  width:$size;
};

.box {
  @include square($color: red, $size: 50px);
}

You reverse the order of arguments when you're calling the mixin. Specifying the name of the variable before each argument helps sass know which values goes where. Otherwise it will be confused.

Ohhhh! So calling the arguments happens in the @include section?
