The problem is that you have spelt the list wrong in the covers() function on this line:

listt.append(keys)

when the list defined in the method is called list1. This should now pass the challenge as your other code looks correct

This line from task 1 is failing the challenge

listt.append(keys)

Looks like a typo for list1
