Why am I getting Bummer! got the wrong string(s)?

I am getting all four string in the tuple. Still getting bummer. Or I have misunderstood the challenge.

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(string):
    tuple_1 = string.upper()
    tuple_2 = string.lower()
    tuple_3 = string[:1].upper() + string[1::].lower()
    tuple_4 = string[::-1]

    tup = tuple_1, tuple_2, tuple_3, tuple_4

    return tup

Your third term isn't quite right.

The challenge says, "Titlecased (first letter of each word is capitalized)", but it looks like your code will capitalize the first word instead of each word.

Hint: What if there were a function like upper and lower that already did that? :wink:
