I can't work it out and google doesn't help

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

Hi

you're very close, you just need to add a split() method. like this 

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