Try this:

let name = "Jorge" let greeting = "Hi there, (name)."

The challenge specifically asked you to name the variable greeting & you named it something else so it marked it wrong. Always used the variables exactly as they ask.

I think that both of you are correct. There's nothing wrong with the way I had written it, but the way it was accepted as correct is how Cindy wrote it. Thank you both for your help.
