You can reset the challenge and then just write the open and closing brackets with the index number inside.
The challenge requires the first index to be accessed.
Strings and arrays both begin with the first index as 0 and increment by 1 for each additional element.

See my comment by your variables declared with var.

// Setup
let firstLetterOfLastName = "";
const lastName = "Lovelace";

// Only change code below this line
var firstLetterOfLastName = ""; 
/* A variable declared again with the 
same name will result in error, 
see last and next uncommented line. */
var lastname = "Lovelace";

firstLetterOfLastName = lastname[0];
console.log(firstletterOfLastName) // Change this line
