Look twice at the preview example :stuck_out_tongue:
About the syntax, you can use . without parentheses^^

I struggled a bit with this one too.
Since you need to hide advert, only that one needs to be replaced with a dot:

grid-template-areas:
“header header header”
“. content content”
“footer footer footer”;

The correct answer is not working with comment lines.

It’s bug, I guess.

If you remove comment lines, you can pass; just like below.

  .container {
    font-size: 40px;
    min-height: 300px;
    width: 100%;
    background: LightGray;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-gap: 10px;
    grid-template-areas:
    "header header header"
    ". content content"
    "footer footer footer";
  }
