It's because the question doesn't ask you to create a custom initializer method. You can simply create an instance of Tag before creating and instance of Post rather than doing the same thing in a custom initializer.

struct Tag {
  let name: String
}

struct Post {
    var title: String
    var author: String
    var tag: Tag

    func description() -> String  {
        return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"
    }

}

let myTag = Tag(name: "Classics")
let firstPost = Post(title: "1984", author: "George Orwell", tag: myTag)
let postDescription = firstPost.description()
