Hi Marcell Ciszek ,

You were so so close and will probably be kicking yourself over how close you were! You were missing the comma at the string property. With each object key and property, they need to be separated by a comma.

const myString = {
        string: "Programming with Treehouse is fun!", // Comma added to separate object keys
        countWords: function(){
           const wordArray = this.string.split(' ');
           return wordArray.length;
       }   
}
