text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

I don’t think you can have a space between alphabet and [shifted]

Declare a variable named shifted and assign it the alphabet letter at index plus shift.

I like that you split this up into 2 operations, adding index+shift and then assigning the letter. Makes it very clear.

However, to pass the test I think you will need to do this in 1 line. You can perform the index+shift operation within the [square brackets]
