Hello Chris,

You don’t have to print the alphabet variable yet, just assign it. Also the abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz part that you assigned it with is currently not a string. You will have to change it to make sure the computer knows it’s supposed to be a string.

Is it asking for just the one line or to keep the other strings as well
