3,167 PointsThis is the correct code, using the direct child symbol ">":
/* Write your SCSS code below. */
p {
a {
color:red;
}
> a {
color:blue;
}
}
The order does seem to matter -- when I put "> a" before the "a" styling, the challenge didn't pass. I think that is because if you switch it, all "p a" become red, and the blue color gets overwritten.

8,165 PointsBen you're a legend! Thank you. I was using
.entry p {
a {color: red;}
}
from the first task so ".entry" was only selecting the .entries and not all the p tags. Thanks again!
