create a new property (using dot OR bracket notation) called characters.

create a new property (using dot OR bracket notation) called characters. This property should be set to the number of characters in the phrase held in the string property

mystring.js 
const myString = {
    string: "Programming with Treehouse is fun!",
    countWords: function(){
        const wordArray = this.string.split(' ');
        return wordArray.length;
    }
}


const numWords = myString['countWords']();
myString.characters = myString.string.lenght;

Hi Matthew!

Your issue is simple.

The t and h are backwards/reversed in .length

Transpose them and it should pass.

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
