I keep entering the correct code, but it wont accept it. It's not telling me I am wrong, just pops up with a hint.

I tried refreshing the page/closing the page all together. I am having the same issue. I can't move passed the question.

index.html 
<!doctype html
<html>

</html>

Hi Tyler Schwartz

It's almost correct.

Your doctype is missing the closing angle bracket. Remember if you open something < it must also be closed >.

Your code <!doctype html <html>

</html>

Should read

<!doctype html*>* <html>

</html>
