Expanding on your code:

full_name = "asdf ghjk"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse",split() #<-- create word list from string

first_name referenced by full_name[0]; treehouse referenced by greeting_list[2]

# replace "Treehouse" with first name
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

Nearly there, but will need to call name_list [0].
