call .find() on your alphabet string and pass text[0] to the method.

You want to call the find method on the alphabet variable. Here’s how you call a method on a variable:

variable.method()

To pass an argument you put it in the brackets, as you’ve done here:

.find('w')

But you want to pass text[0] as an argument, not 'w'
