NameError

When I try to create my variable it says NameError. I don't understand why. I am simply just creating a variable containing a list...

index.py 
varl = [1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 't']

Hi Arthur, your variable name is spelled incorrectly as the challenge asks you to create a variable called var1 not varl:

var1 = [1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 't']

However, I understand why you made your mistake as the 2 characters do look very similar :)

There's a spelling error. It should be var1 not varl.
