Hey there,

note that you have to save the formatted String into the subject variable but right now you're saving the print statement in the variable. Also make sure to insert the name variable instead of a hardcoded name into the placeholder and that you remove the space in the end of the string as the challenges can be very picky.

It should work like this:

name = "Emelda"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

I hope that helps! :)
