Is this quiz incorrect?

It's saying the pies.html is incorrect. It doesn't seem to be.

Thanks.

Hi there! No, it's not incorrect. A list item is the only allowed immediate descendent of an ordered list. You're not far off, but you've gotten things a bit backwards. Currently, your links are around your list items, but they need to be inside your list items:

<!-- not this -->
<a><li></li></a>

<!-- but this -->
<li><a></a></li>

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

I think you need to check that your Anchor tags are inside the list item tags
