i’ve tried multiple solutions from other people who had the same problem but nothing worked

is this how you write the word?

I’ve edited your post to improve the readability of the code. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

That was a dumb mistake, but even after correcting it it still wont pass the tests
