Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item. Help

I cant figure out why im getting an error. The error says "Try adding the ordered list inside the list item Shapes". Heres what I have:

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

PS: ive never been stuck yet during this whole deep dive. Its probably something im over thinking but any advice/help would be awesome! thanks!

It's not nested inside of your shapes lists. And yes you are missing something?

You're forgetting to nest your ordered lists inside of your shapes lists.
