I'm not sure what is meant by a multi-line flex container, I thought useing the flex-direction: column; would do it.

is flex-direction: column; not the correct answer?

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.row{
    display: flex; 
  flex-flow: column;
}

Hint: The title of this challenge is "Wrapping Items and Distributing Space".

Stronger hint: The property associated with multiple lines is "flex-wrap".

I'll bet you can figure out the setting.
