11,059 PointsSorry, guys, no idea how to get past this... wouldn't it be align-items?
I believe I simply didn't understand this question. I thought the STRETCH option on the align-items would solve the problem, but I am getting an error. Can you help?
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.row {
display: flex;
}
.column {
align-content: stretch;
}

But what is wanted here is to fill the main axis (horizontal). So the property you would set is flex-grow.
Whenever you need a quick flexbox reference, try A Complete Guide to Flexbox.

.column { flex-grow: 1; }
