Adding table header in Challenge task not working

I am doing the table html challenge and the cod, bellow, is not being accepted. I was unsure if what I was doing was incorrect so I even copied the code from the video, still didn't work.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

    <table border ="1">
      <tr>
        <th>Fruites</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Oranges</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Apples</td>
      </tr>
    </table>

  </body>
</html>

So I cam to the answer to my own question after a little bit off googleing. The exercise asks for a header, but this could either be <th> or <thead>. The answer is <thead>. 

<table border ="1">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Fruites</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tr>
    <td>Oranges</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Apples</td>
  </tr>
</table>
