On line 2 of app.js

I have the following code, but sadly, it says bummer.

Any help is appreciated. I also put "p" too and that didn't work.

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.CreateElement('p');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

I actually input that at first with the "", and it told me wrong answer. I suppose the folks at TreeHouse made the mistake and fixed it in between the time I asked for help and I got the proper answer (in which I did provide).

I think the issue was the capitalization of createElement not the quotation marks, single quotes or double quotes should work

document.CreateElement('p');

vs

document.createElement('p');
