Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 44,824 PointsYou have answered the first part of the question correctly when you assigned the element with the 'sayPhrase' ID to the button variable.
You just need to do the exact same thing for the input variable.
let input = document.getElementById('phraseText');
