Inside the jQuery each() method, use prepend() to add an '<input type="checkbox"/>' to the beginning of each list item.

Not quite sure what I'm missing here.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h2>My Favorite Things</h2>

    <ul class="favorite-things">
        <li>Kittens</li>
        <li>Rainbows</li>
        <li>Unicorns</li>
        <li>Sprinkles</li>
    </ul>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$('.favorite-things li').each(function() {
  const $checkbox = $('<input type="checkbox"/>');
  $(this).prepend($checkbox);
});

While your answer should work, the test that they are using is specifically looking for the string in the prepend method, so the answer should be:

$('.favorite-things li').each(function() {
  $(this).prepend('<input type="checkbox"/>');
});
