Letter named from_string

I am stuck on this and the workspace is giving me (Bummer! Didn't get the right pattern) error. Can someone please assist me.

Thanks

morse.py
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.pattern

    def __str__(self):
        output = []
        for blip in self:
            if blip == '.':
                output.append('dot')
            else:
                output.append('dash')
        return '-'.join(output)

    @classmethod
    def from_string(cls, stg):
        contain1 = []
        stg = stg.lower()
        stg = stg.split("-")
        print(stg)
        for item in stg:
            if item == "dash".lower():
                contain1.append("-")
            elif item == "dot".lower():
                contain1.append(".")
        return cls(contain1)


class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
        pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
        super().__init__(pattern)

Hiya!! You may or may not feel silly when i'll tell you why isnt it passing. You're just appending the wrong thing to your empty list. The question says you are suppose to append "_" (underscore), not "-" (hyphen). and Everything is alright with your code , replace your hyphen with underscore and it'll pass. Have a great day! (:
