Hello there! The capitalize() method returns capitalized string but the challenge was explicit about title cased. Fortunately, Python comes with a title() method in the built-in String class. Hence the code should look like this:

def stringcases(string):
    return string.upper(), string.lower(), string.title(), string[::-1]

I hope it helped!
