 You should have a `p` element with the `id` of `char-count`.
 
 ```js
-const charCount = document.querySelector('p');
-assert.equal(charCount.id, 'char-count');
+assert.exists("p#char-count");
 ```
 
 The `#char-count` element should initially contain the text `Character Count: 0/50`.
 
 ```js
-const charCount = document.querySelector('p')?.innerText;
+const charCount = document.querySelector('p#char-count')?.innerText;
 assert.equal(charCount, 'Character Count: 0/50');
 ```
