MaryAnn,

You're really close here. You've got your Sinatra code all correct. What you want to take a look at is your word.erb template code.

Here's what you have right now...

<h1><%= @word %> </h1>
<p>Backwards: <%= @word %></p>
<p>Uppercase: <%= @word %></p>
<p>Length: <%= @word %></p>

Take a look at these objectives for this template:

An <h1> heading consisting of the word from the URL parameter
A <p> element with the text "Backwards:", followed by the result of calling the reverse method on the word string
A <p> element with the text "Uppercase:", followed by the result of calling the upcase method on the word string
A <p> element with the text "Length:", followed by the result of calling the length method on the word string

Those final three points should be incorporated into your template. Here's a hint on the first one being added:

<h1><%= @word %> </h1>
<p>Backwards: <%= @word.reverse %></p>
<p>Uppercase: <%= @word %></p>
<p>Length: <%= @word %></p>

Now following along with those objectives, just added the uppercase and length items and you'll have it solved.
