Why isn't this code passing? Maybe a bug with the challenge?

Why isn't this code passing the challenge? It is working when I run it in my terminal having written it in Atom but not passing the challenge. Maybe a bug? Or am I missing something?

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(word):
    reversedString = word[::-1]
    return (word.upper(), word.lower(), word.capitalize(), reversedString)

The capitalize method will return a copy of the string with only its first character capitalized, you should use .title() method instead.
