On line 8 of app.js, select the neighbors of of $(this). -- Should say siblings not neighbors

I know what to do, but the request is mis-typed I believe. Treehouse needs to fix this.

Combine siblings() with remove():

  $(this).siblings().removeClass('selected');

If they say siblings wouldn't it be too easy!

The question is correctly worded. Siblings are at the same level and are therefore neighbors.

//Deselect sibling elements $(this).siblings(); //Select clicked element $(this).addClass("selected");
