Hey Gangadah,

I think the < (Less) and > (Greater) than sign with the WHERE clause will work.

WHERE name < "L"  --> will return all names between A-K.

For example

SELECT first_name, last_name, age
FROM phone_book 
WHERE last_name < "L" ;

Hope it works.

SELECT Name FROM Employees WHERE Name LIKE '[A-K]%'

Hi Avana, I think your filter works in MySQL but not SQLite which Treehouse workspaces uses by default.
