Just out of curiosity could you use the “key” parameter in the .sort(key=func) method to sort python_top_articles by upvotes?

You should definitely try to explore your curiosity and play around with the code! Try it out or check out the documentation to confirm if it’s feasible or not.

This is what I initially did, using a lambda function with the sorted(dict.items(), key= lambda item:item[1])

Then I looked at the solution because I was 100% sure that I could solve it with a for loop and frankly I wasn’t wrong.
