QUESTION: Finally, create a new variable named email_greeting that puts the treehouse variable and the name variable into the sentence "X loves Y" but with treehouse for X and name for Y. Don't forget your spacing!

name.py 
name = "Felix"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
email_greeting = name + " loves " + treehouse

Hi, I think you have the variables in the wrong order. The questions asks you to create the variable email_greeting and set it equal to X(treehouse) loves Y(name).

It should be:

name = "treehouse"
treehouse = "Felix"
email_greeting = treehouse + ' loves ' + name

Almost: It should be "Treehouse loves Felix". not Felix loves Treehouse. Althought I'm sure both sentiments are true.
