I have no idea why my answer is incorrect. I have looked at the correct answer and they appear to be identical

Here is a copy of my code

class Writer(models.Model):
    name = models.Charfield(max_length=255)

Here is a copy of the correct code

class Writer(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

I've looked at this for more than 10 minutes trying to see a difference. Can someone explain what the difference is?

articles/models.py 
from django.db import models


class Article(models.Model):
    headline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    publish_date = models.DateTimeField()
    content = models.TextField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.headline

class Writer(models.Model):
    name = models.Charfield(max_length=255)

have a closer look at your code name = models.Char [f] ield(max_length=255)

and the correct code name = models.Char [F] ield(max_length=255)

CharField should be written with a capital F for field

Thank you. That's the second time I've made that error today.
