You missed the key instruction:

Then, in the /json GET route handler you created in the last challenge

Also, even if you figure out where to put the code, the code you wrote below is not what the instructions tell you to do either.

  var response = "Hello World".toUpperCase();
  const mySecret = process.env['MESSAGE_STYLE'];

  if (process.env.VAR_NAME === "allCaps") {
    response = "Hello World".toUpperCase();
  } else {
    response = "Hello World";
  }

The above code would assign the value HELLO WORLD to the response variable if the environment variable named VAR_NAME has the value allCaps. Otherwise, the value Hello World would be assigned to the response variable. No where in the instructions does tells you to write code to do this.
