overlap means we use .intersection() or .issuperset()?

  1. "where the supplied set and the course's value (also a set) overlap." I feel overlap means at least one intersect, so intersection() should work right?
  2. My code runs correctly in my IDE, but runs into Bummer: Try again! here, can anyone help me identify my mistake? Thank you!
sets.py 
COURSES = {
    "Python Basics": {"Python", "functions", "variables",
                      "booleans", "integers", "floats",
                      "arrays", "strings", "exceptions",
                      "conditions", "input", "loops"},
    "Java Basics": {"Java", "strings", "variables",
                    "input", "exceptions", "integers",
                    "booleans", "loops"},
    "PHP Basics": {"PHP", "variables", "conditions",
                   "integers", "floats", "strings",
                   "booleans", "HTML"},
    "Ruby Basics": {"Ruby", "strings", "floats",
                    "integers", "conditions",
                    "functions", "input"}
}

def covers(set1):
    result = []
    for key, value in COURSES.items():
        if value.intersection(set1):
            result.append(key)
    return result
