"Check work" result seems wrong

Here's my code for the challenge:

player = {"name" : "bobo", "remaining_lives" : 3, "levels" : [1, 2, 3, 4], "new_dict" : {"word" : "definition"}}

When I checked the output, it worked, and it worked when I ran it through a workspace console. However, when I clicked "Check work", it responded with "Bummer: KeyError: 'items' ".

The instructions for task 2 are: lastly, add an "items" key (meaning name it "items"). You have added "new_dict"

Thanks, Kris. I've got to take these auto-graded things more literally!!
