Hi Jordon,

It will work if you remove the quotation makes from around "extra" in the last line, since you're trying to pass the variable called extra, not the literal string "extra".

You can also just hard-code a list as the last item in the bigger list you create on the first line. This challenge doesn't necessarily need you to go through the process of appending it (although it's totally fine if you want to do it that way).

Hope this helps!
