# --description--

You can group cells of your grid together into an <dfn>area</dfn> and give the area a custom name. Do this by using `grid-template-areas` on the container like this:

```css
grid-template-areas:
  'header header header'
  'advert content content'
  'advert footer footer';
```

The code above groups the cells of the grid into four areas: `header`, `advert`, `content`, and `footer`. Every word represents a cell and every pair of quotation marks represent a row.

# --instructions--

Change the template so the `footer` area spans the entire bottom row. Defining the areas won't have any visual effect right now. Later, you will make an item use an area to see how it works.

# --hints--

`container` class should have a `grid-template-areas` property similar to the example but with the `footer` area spanning the whole bottom row.

```js
assert.match(
  __helpers.removeCssComments(code),
  /.container\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-template-areas\s*?:\s*?["|']\s*?header\s*?header\s*?header\s*?["|']\s*?["|']\s*?advert\s*?content\s*?content\s*?["|']\s*?["|']\s*?footer\s*?footer\s*?footer\s*?["|']\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi
);
```
