I keep getting an error that says reverse didn't accept an argument, however, if I run it locally it works just fine.
from copy import copy
backwards = [
'tac',
'esuoheerT',
'htenneK',
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1],
]
def reverse(items):
items = copy(items)
return [item[::-1] for item in items]

It is a little simpler than you expected.
def reverse(items)
return items[::-1]
Now, for the second part of the Challenge, you are going to use reverse as a reference to the function in Part 1. And map() to assign a new variable forwards
forwards = map(reverse, backwards)
The wording is a little bit awkward, but you get the gist of it!
