Check out layout.html. It has a block named 'link'. Inside of index.html, you need to create this link. Below the extend, add the syntax for block link. Inside of the block, create a link/anchor tag <a href=""></a>. The text inside of the link tags should be Contact.
{% extends 'layout.html' %}
{% block button %}
<a href="{{ url_for('link') }}">Contact</a>
{% endblock %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="description" content="Treehouse code chalenge practice.">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<h1>Practice Template Inheritance</h1>
{% block link %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

You should check out the Flask documentation on templates.
As you know, layout.html is a template.
The challenge asks for index.html to use the layout.html template. That's why you extended it at the top.
When you extend the layout.html file, you can override specific sections. That's what the block sections are for.
Here's an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="description" content="Treehouse code chalenge practice.">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Practice Template Inheritance</h1>
{% block link %}{% endblock %}
#if we extend the layout.html file to another file, we can specify what we want in this block/section.
</body>
</html>
Instead of copying this over to index.html, you can simply extend the layout.html file and specify what goes inside the link block.
Like this:
{% extends 'layout.html' %}
{% block link %}
link/anchor tag goes here.
{% endblock %}
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions!
