Challenge not validating even though the answer works

Hi everyone,

This challenge isn't passing for me even though it seems my code is working when I enter it.

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(string):
    uppercase_tuple = string.upper()
    lowercase_tuple = string.lower()

    split_string = string.split(" ")
    titlecase_list = []
    for word in split_string:
        titlecase_list.append(word.capitalize())

    titlecase_tuple = " ".join(titlecase_list)

    reverse_tuple = string.split()
    reverse_tuple.reverse()
    reverse_tuple = " ".join(reverse_tuple)

    return (string, uppercase_tuple, lowercase_tuple, titlecase_tuple, reverse_tuple)

Two things:

1) You don't need to return string. That is throwing the checker off on your values.

2) Your reverse string should reverse the entire string. You reverse the order of the words. For example 'my dog has fleas' this should be 'saelf sah god ym' instead of' fleas has dog my'
