Hi Noel,

I just rechecked and the quiz passed using the same wording as you (and all lowercase like you). Did you make sure that you had one word per box?

If so, maybe Treehouse is having a funny turn. Try reloading the page or trying another browser (I did it using Safari Technology Preview 63 on macOS 10.13.2).

Good luck! Cheers

Alex

This seems to be a very sensitive question. While either Title case or Lower case will work, if you somehow have a space after any of the words, it fails. :confused:
