Welcome to TAC @lilcowgirl2483yahoo-com
Just know that everyone starting to play guitar thinks that they have one or more physical limitations that will hold them back. The longer you stick with it the less the apparent problems will hinder you. Many guitarists have short fingers.
While you are starting there are things you can do to help. If you don’t have a capo, get one and place the capo several frets from the nut. You can start with 2 or 4. Now you might be able to reach better because everything is closer together. Take a look at the warmup stretching exercises in the skills section. Warming up will loosen your fingers up and allow you to reach better. Think about what you can do regularly to help with your reach. I do some stretches throughout the day whenever I think of it. I’ll even do them at night when I wake up.
Don’t expect this to get a lot better immediately, it takes years. I’ve been playing for 2 years and still can’t reach everything that comes up in the TAC challenges, but I’m getting closer.
