Challenge: Use grid-column to Control Spacing

Link to the challenge:

The syntax is grid-column: start / stop. You want to start at column 2, but you need to stop past column 3.

hello! grid-column: 2/3 was the first thing I tried, but it didnt worked

Right, normally the box would start at 2 and end at 3. You need to go further, starting at 2 and ending at a bigger number : )

The way the grids work, it starts from left to right. That means the beginning of 2 is at the left corner of 2, and the beginning of 3 which is where to end is the left corner of 3. That means, you want to go over it.
