What am I missing?

I feel like I'm doing what's being asked of me but I can't figure out what's missing.

enums.swift 
enum Compass: Int {
    case North
    case South
    case East
    case West
}

let direction = Compass.South.rawValue

Close. You just need to pass the rawValue into the enum initializer as a parameter. Your code would look like this.

enum Compass: Int {
    case North
    case South
    case East
    case West
}

let direction = Compass(rawValue: 1)
