HI Ozgur. We can't see your code. Try to markdown it. You can do in the simplest way which is by adding 3 backticks (```) in the line before and after your code. You can see more details about it in the markdown cheatsheet.

I just tried following the challenge and it accepts the following...

I've marked each step to try and help you compare where you're going wrong.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->

    <table> <!-- step 1 -->
  <thead> <!-- step 2 -->
    <tr> <!-- step 3 -->
      <th> <!-- step 4 -->
        Mike The Frog
      </th> <!-- step 4 -->

      <th> <!-- step 4 -->
        Treehouse Island
      </th> <!-- step 4 -->
    </tr> <!-- step 3 -->
  </thead> <!-- step 2 -->
  <tbody> <!-- step 5 -->
    <tr> <!-- step 6 -->
      <td>Hello</td> <!-- step 7 -->
      <td>Hello 2</td> <!-- step 7 -->
    </tr> <!-- step 6 -->
    <tr> <!-- step 8 -->
      <td colspan="2">
        Hello across 2 cols
      </td>
    </tr> <!-- step 8 -->

</table> <!-- step 1 -->

I just got this as well and never thought to place the <thead></thead>. I just used what is on the source code <th></th>. There has to be a difference, I think?
