I see what the issue is now that I've toyed with it for a bit. The error message threw me off as well. The backend is unfortunately looking for the get_anagrams() call inside of your assertIn() call. It's not your doing, it's just the way the backend was looking for the correct code. I'll make a note of this and either re-word the challenge or see if it's something that can be altered on the backend. Apologies for the confusion there! 😵‍💫
