I put align-self: center; to no avail...

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

.row {
  display: flex;
  align-self: center}
.column {flex-grow: 1;}
.primary {flex: 2;}

Hi!

You want to use align-items, not align-self.

This passes all 3 tasks:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.column { /***  Task 1  ***/
  flex-grow: 1;
}

.primary { /***  Task 2  ***/
  flex: 2;
} 

.row { /***  Task 3 ***/
  display: flex;
  align-items: center; /***  Your Issue (FIXED)  ***/
}

BTW, here is a fun game to help reinforce your CSS flexbox skills:

And when you get around to learning CSS grid, there's this game, too:

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
