Similar to how you split your full_name into a list of items, the split() method works on any string.

Given a string "Hi, I'm Treehouse", you can split on spaces by adding the split() method:

"Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

You can then assign it to the variable greeting_list:

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
