Hey Josh,

The variable name you have is misspelled. Challenges are very picky, and this one specifically asks for favoriteDessert to be the American English spelling. So, just fix up that error and the task will pass.

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

Dear Josh White head , favourite(BRITAIN) -> favorite(AMERICAN) Remember while creating any variables in code challenge make sure it would be specific as mentioned, since tree house servers will show an bummer message if you have misspelled any variable.

let favoriteDessert: String = "KitKat"
