Try using the keyword "as" in your foreach loop in order to declare a variable for each letter in your $letters array. Then, rather than echoing nothing (your statement {echo;}, you can instead echo each referenced part of the array. Try this:

echo "Today's challenge is brought to you by the ";
echo count($letters);
echo " letters: ";
foreach ($letters as $letter) {
echo $letter;
}
echo ".";

Hope this helps/ happy coding!
