Hi there and welcome to our commmunity!

At the end of your code, call .find() on your alphabet string and pass text[0] to the method.

You have called the find method on text not alphabet. Also, inside the parentheses you should pass text[0] not text].

You can read more about how to use find() here:

https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_string_find.asp

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-string-find/

The find() method finds the [position number] of the first occurrence of the specified value.

txt = "Hello, welcome to my world."

x = txt.find("welcome")

print(x)

>>> 7
