You're on the right track, but the isWinner needs to compare the totalScore to see if it's 10 or not so it can return a Boolean value to store in isWinner. You are using the correct operator (!=), but it's not "comparing" anything. If you were to ask yourself the question out loud -- "Does Total Score not equal 10?"
var initialScore = 8
let totalScore = ++initialScore
let isWinner = (totalScore != 10)
Keep Coding!

8,383 PointsTo satisfy the Working with Operators: Part 2 challenge what I put below will satisfy the challenge. var initialScore = 8 let totalScore = ++initialScore
isWinner is outstide of the scope of what is being validated in the lesson. If you are getting an error in xcode about your constant let isWinner != 10 it might be because the system doesn't know what value to assign isWinner. If it doesn't equal ten what does it equal? I looked over some documentation and I didn't see anything that indicated != could be used when declaring a variable.
I hope this is helpful.
