Hi there and welcome to our community!

In the starting code for this step, you have this line:

alphabet.find('z')

This calls the find() method on the alphabet string, with the argument ‘z’. So, it searches for the character ‘z’ in alphabet.
Instead of passing ‘z’ as an argument, you are asked to pass text[0] (which is the first character of the text string). So, the find() method will now search for the character ‘H’ in the alphabet string instead.
