var player = "jasmine";

Hi there! You're really close here! There's simply an error in capitalization. The string should be Jasmine, but you've typed jasmine. These are two separate values. Besides challenges being rather strict, it's also important to note that just about everything in programming is case-sensitive.

Give it another go with this hint in mind! :sparkles:

Be sure to capitalize correctly. :)
