Hey jason limmm 👋

What route are you visiting to test this your code? You'll want to make sure that there is a query parameter present for the side as Andrew explains around the 1:37 minute mark

When I paste your code into the provided project files everything seems to be working as expected when visiting a route like: http://localhost:3000/cards/2?side=question

Hope this helps.
