Hi, welcome to the forum!

Declare a new variable named shifted.

You’ve renamed the shift variable to shifted instead of creating a new variable.

Use the bracket notation to access the value of alphabet at index index and assign it to your new variable.

You’ve assigned it “3” instead of what’s indicated above. There is no mention of modifying the print statement in the instructions.

You can reset this step and try it again.
