Now make a new variable ...

and I enter "menu = "our avilable flavors are: {}."" exactly as asked to do. But get the error your menu string does not have the correct ...

2nd question, what good is the "preview"? It doesn't show anything related to the code I am trying to figure out.

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "our avilable flavors are: {}."

Hi there! Challenges can be very strict with what they are expecting. As Tommy Tayler points out, you've misspelled "available" in this string. The period/full stop should be at the end of the string. However, the word "our" should be capitalized.

If you fix the capitalization and the spelling, it should pass this step of the challenge.

Good luck! :sparkles:

available is spelt incorrect when you assign the menu variable in your last line.
