This should error should not be happening

set up:

Let's practice with indexes! Make a new variable named var1 that is either a list or a string. Make sure that var1[5], the item with an index value of 5, is the letter "t".

my code is in index.py

error message: Bummer! NameError: name 'var1' is not defined

yet i have defined varl as the string "Ratatta". This makes 0 sense. Why is this happening?

index.py 
varl = "Ratatta"

You typed an L instead of a 1. How did you even managed that? :p
