Build a Flappy Penguin - Step 55

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I do not recall var being discussed, ever. Did I miss it? If not, why would you expect that we know the syntax to something we’ve never been taught?

Additionally, I do not recall ever being taught how to create a class inside of CSS.

I’m stuck here. I’ve searched online and I think i have the correct sytax for :root and for .face and for .chin but it’s not working.

I’ve tried adding background-color: var(--penquin-face);to .face.left& to .face.rightbut that didn’t fix it.

Your code so far

The topic was previously covered starting here: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/responsive-web-design-v9/lecture-working-with-css-variables/what-are-css-custom-properties

Ok, thanks for letting me know. However, it’s not working despite the fact that my syntax seems accurate.

I fixed it by just copying “var(--penguin-face)" from the suggestion when it kept saying it was wrong. There was no difference in how it appeared or any spelling errors in what I put in, but copying your suggestion fixed it for some odd reason. I’ve had this same problem in this challenge for other items using the term “penguin”. It wouldn’t take my spelling despite it being accurate, but only accepted it when I had copied the correct spelling from the suggestion at the bottom.

Above you spelled penguin with a q in one spot, so that could be it

Yes, I just noticed it as I was on step 61 and having the same problem.
