Step 6 of 6 isn't working well

Hi there,

On the last step of HTML Lists, I've tried and retried reading, but it returns that Step 2 is wrong anyway, even though I've checked that this code is what is wanted from me.

Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help me understand the issue please?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
         <ol>
           <li>Stop</li>
           <li>Drop</li>
           <li>Roll</li>
           <li>Square</li>
           <li>Circle</li>
         </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Thanks ;)

Are you sure the stop, drop, and roll should be there? Do you have leftover code from another task? Check to make sure you are adding the right stuff in the list. Check your nested structure and use indentation very carefully to keep track of lists. If i recall correctly it's the nesting a list in another list like this:

<ul>
  <li>Shapes
    <ol>
      <li>Square</li>
      <li>Circle</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>Colors</li>
</ul>

Yes, I suppose it should work like that, but if I remove the ordered list from the step before, it returns that Step 2 isn't passing.

Yup, that's right! I must've misread the step, I thought we should nest the Stop, Drop, Roll list. Thanks ;)
