\s is not an accepted answer in the quiz when adding a space to a string. Is this not correct? It works in workspaces.

name = "Ian" string = "Hello\sMy\sname\sis\s#{name}.\sWorkspaces\sis\sfun!" puts string

Adds spaces between words. However in the quiz question asking to add a space, \s fails.

That's weird, because technically your code is correct. Maybe the quiz question doesn't want it in this particular format. I know the questions can often require a specific solution to the challenges. If you attach your code and the challenge question I could help more

I just checked, added \s to all fields, and it passed correctly. Perhaps you've added some extra character by accident?

headline = "Coding\swith\sTreehouse\sfun!"
