Treehouse StaffHey jason limmm 👋
Try using string values for your area names instead of numbers. Number values for the grid-area property are used for specifying gridlines, you'll want to give them a string value in order for using them in combination with grid-template-areas` After converting things to use letters instead of numbers your grid should start working as expected 😃
Hope this helps! 🧑💻
