You may have read that wrong. The error message you receive is "Bummer: Make sure you are assigning the correct string to the variable!".

You'll want to use the constant greeting and the code checker is usually very picky when it comes to text. For the interpolated string you can combine the two as follows:

let name = "snow"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
