# --description--

To strikethrough text, which is when a horizontal line cuts across the characters, you can use the `s` tag. It shows that a section of text is no longer valid. With the `s` tag, the browser applies the CSS of `text-decoration: line-through;` to the element.

# --instructions--

Wrap the `s` tag around `Google` inside the `h4` tag and then add the word `Alphabet` beside it without the strikethrough formatting.

# --hints--

Your code should add one `s` tag to the markup.

```js
assert($('s').length == 1);
```

A `s` tag should wrap around the `Google` text in the `h4` tag. It should not contain the word `Alphabet`.

```js
assert(
  $('h4 > s')
    .text()
    .match(/Google/gi) &&
    !$('h4 > s')
      .text()
      .match(/Alphabet/gi)
);
```

You should include the word `Alphabet` in the `h4` tag, without strikethrough formatting.

```js
assert(
  $('h4')
    .html()
    .match(/Alphabet/gi)
);
```
