the instructions say to set background size to 20px square in CSS. I wrote background-size: 20px; which is what we did in the instructional video before the challenge and it does not give me credit...what have I done wrong?

6,979 PointsPlease note that you are using the single property background-size which sets the background width to 20px and then implicitely sets the background height to auto.
In your question you state that the question wants you to set the background size to 20px square, with square being the important part. Try using the two-value syntax of the background-size property like this
background-size: 20px 20px;

6,979 PointsI'm glad it worked out for you. After working in Web for many years I find the simplest of things give the most problems.
Cheers...
