Centre the hero card — in a container that runs downwards

EasyMain axis vs cross axis

The same justify-content: center that centred the masthead brand horizontally sent this card sliding down the middle of the hero instead. Nothing about the CSS changed. The container did.

.hero is already a flex container running as a column. Centre .card HORIZONTALLY inside it and leave it flush with the top. Keep the hero a column.

Hint

In a column, which axis are the items laid out along — and therefore which property is now the horizontal one?

You cannot change either of these. They are what your selectors have to reach, and they are the same ones the judge renders.
