Hey Joshua, I created a `div` under the `textarea` and put the resetbutton and the check button into it. Then I made the `div` a row flexbox and justified it `space-between`. ![Screenshot_2020-08-21_14-53-27](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/e/d/ed5f7832b5f188e271d5f0d7810e99f5a86083f6.png) ---

thanks man actually i just solved it too lol i added flex box to the form element then some more shit, but i think your solution sounds easier. btw is there a way to keep the reset button aligned with the text-box? cuz there is a bit of space ---
