CSS Grid doesn't work as expected (grid areas)

Could somebody help me to figure out why the following example of CSS Grid doesn't work as expected? Here's a link into Codepen:

.cards {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 1em;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-gap: 20px;
  grid-template-areas:
    "a a b"
    "c d d"
    "c e e";
}

.card {
  background-color: #1E88E5;
  padding: 2em;
  color: #FFFFFF;
  line-height: 1.4;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

.card1 { grid-area: "a"; }
.card2 { grid-area: "b"; background-color: #4CAF50; }
.card3 { grid-area: "c"; background-color: #FFCA28; }
.card4 { grid-area: "d"; background-color: #F06292; }
.card5 { grid-area: "e"; background-color: #FF8A80; }

For some reason grid areas are not properly structured. Probably I forgot something but I couldn't figure out what exactly. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Just remove the quotation marks from the grid-area values:

.card1 { grid-area: a; }
.card2 { grid-area: b; background-color: #4CAF50; }
.card3 { grid-area: c; background-color: #FFCA28; }
.card4 { grid-area: d; background-color: #F06292; }
.card5 { grid-area: e; background-color: #FF8A80; }


body {
  text-align: center;
}

.wrap {
  max-width: 70em;
  text-align: left;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.cards {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 1em;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-gap: 20px;
  grid-template-areas:
    "a a b"
    "c d d"
    "c e e";
}

.card {
  background-color: #1E88E5;
  padding: 2em;
  color: #FFFFFF;
  line-height: 1.4;
  border-radius: 4px;
  
  h3 {
    margin-top: 0;
  }
}

.card1 { grid-area: a; }
.card2 { grid-area: b; background-color: #4CAF50; }
.card3 { grid-area: c; background-color: #FFCA28; }
.card4 { grid-area: d; background-color: #F06292; }
.card5 { grid-area: e; background-color: #FF8A80; }
<div class="wrap">
  <div class="cards">
    <div class="card card1"><h3>Card 1</h3>Leverage agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis for high level overviews.
