Link to the challenge question for anyone else following the discussion: SQL Basics - Filtering By Comparing Values

We have a database that runs a sports team's website. In the results table we have the columns id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score, played_on.

Find all results where the home team's score is above 12.

While you've structured the query correctly, you're currently attempting to get the home team's score from the home_team column instead of the home_score column. Home_team would refer to the name of the home team rather than their score.
