How is my code incorrect for this challenge question?

Challenge Task 1 of 4 Create a new rule that targets .main-heading. Give the heading a text shadow by setting the horizontal and vertical offsets to 0, the blur radius to 5px, and the color to the hex value be7b31.

I enter the following code, but then get an error saying that I need to make sure that I've set vertical offset to zero:

.main-heading { text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #be7b31; }

Am I missing something obvious?

.main-heading { text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31; }

Have you tried it without the "px" after you entered "0" ? The 0 don`t needs any units

That did the trick. Thanks so much LaVaughn & cabrinha98.

.main-heading {
  text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}
