The button didn't contain 'Reveal Spoiler'?

My code isn't working, prompting the error message "The button didn't contain 'Reveal Spoiler'"

js/app.js 
//Prevent spoilerphobes from seeing spoilers
//Solution: Hide spoilers and reveal them through user interaction

//1, Hide spoiler
$(".spoiler span").hide();
//2, Add a button
$(".spoiler").append('<button>Reveal Spoiler</button>');
//3, When button pressed
  //3.1, Show spoiler
  //3.2, Get rid of button

Oh man, you aren't going to like this. Check the challenge prompt. It wants the button to read "Reveal Spoiler!".

You just forgot your exclamation point.
