Can you explain what words or phrases you don’t understand in the question?

3

the common aproach to vars is to define it in :root, so make a :root selector and add your variable with the sintax

:root{
--variable-name: value;
}

this is the solution:

:root {
–penguin-face: white;
}

every post talks about varibles which the only time we’ve used this TO THIS POINT has involved the format “var()”
