You almost have the right answer. Be sure to carefully read the description and what it's asking you to do here, because you just need to make one correction. We know that we can create column classes starting with col, then device size, then column size, which are added up to a total of 12. You have all of those right except for the device size.

What the code challenge is asking you to do is create columns for medium devices (md), where you've written columns for small devices (sm). If you swap those out, you should be good!
