What is the correct line of code here?

I have no clue which flex property to use? Align-content: space-between looked like the correct one but its not?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.row {
  display: flex;
}
.column {
   align-content: space-between;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Flexbox Layout</title>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="row">   
      <div class="secondary column">
        <h2>How to get here</h2>
        <p>Tiramisu caramels gummies chupa.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="primary column">
        <h2>Welcome!</h2>
        <p>Everything in this city is worth waiting in line for.</p>
        <img src="treats.svg" alt="treats">
      </div>

      <div class="tertiary column">
        <h2>Great food</h2>
        <p>Croissant macaroon pie brownie.</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

I think you are confusing the value options for align-content and justify-content. But neither one is the answer for this challenge.

:point_right: The property and value that causes flex items to equally fill the space is "flex-grow: 1".
