Modifying method to return a hash

The only error I am getting is 'Try again'. I can't think where to start to correct it.

shopping_list.rb 
def create_shopping_list
  list = { title => "Grocery List", items => Array.new }
  return list
end

Surround your keys with quotes

def create_shopping_list
  { "title" => "Grocery List", "items" => Array.new }
end
