I checked my code on the workspace and it works there. not sure why it isn't working here. Am I misunderstanding?

no details to add

strings.py 
name = "Griffin"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

The challenge simply never asked you to print anything, so you don't need (I mean shouldn't) do that.

strings.py 
name = "Griffin"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

I hope you get it :)
