app.get('/cards', (req, res) => {
res.render('card', { prompt: "Who is buried in Grants tomb" });

app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('The application is running on localhose:3000');

'''app.get('/card', (req, res) => { res.render('card', { prompt: "Who is buried in Grants tomb" }); }); '''
app.get your used cards and res.render you used card Both should be card This should fix your issue.

6,559 PointsWhat's weird is if I delete the root path completely and just have this below. It still shows my template on the localhost. I would think that this should throw an error since it's not referencing the index. pug file but it still showing the template.
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
/*app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render('index');
});*/
app.get('/card', (req, res) => {
res.render('card', { prompt: "Who is buried in Grants tomb" });
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('The application is running on localhose:3000');
});

6,559 PointsI saw that. I tried replacing it to '/card' even though the video has cards and that never worked. I just copied your code directly into my editor and it still doesn't work. I'm puzzled with this problem.

6,559 PointsSorry I finally realized why my route wasn't updating correctly. I wasn't running the server with 'nodemon' so it wasn't watching for the changes in the pug file. After running the server correctly the code you put works perfectly!. Thank you again.
