Creating a breakpoint for devices with 480px width. Code is not working

am I missing an element in my code to get this to work? It is still asking me to change the font-size to 2.5em's

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { h1 { font-size: 2.5em; } }

hey, you're so close. You need to use (min-width:480px) because it's for devices 480px and larger. So the minimum width needs to be 480px.

The question asks you to set the breakpoint to make the font size 2.5em for devices 480px and larger. Your code has it set to 480px and smaller. Just change max-width to min-width to get the correct answer. Otherwise your code is correct.

The challenge is asking you to

Create a breakpoint for devices 480 pixels wide or larger

You are making a breakpoint for devices smaller than that. change max-width to min-width and it should work

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 { 
    font-size: 2.5em; 
  } 
}
