Select the link with the class more. Using the rem unit, set its font size back to the base font size of the root HTML element.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Relative Length Units</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cc1-main-styles.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
    <div class="box">
        <h1>Let's use Font-Relative Length Units</h1>
        <p>
            Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod

        </p>

    </body>
</html>
style.css 
h1 {
  font-size: 40px;

Hi Angeline,

To select a class you add a . before the class name like so .more then the rest is just like you did with the h1 or p tag, you need to set the font-size.
The base font size in rem is 1

If you need anymore help just ask.

Hope this helps.

in style.css you should have something like this (replace font size 24 with size you need):

.more { font-size: 1rem; }

edited: placed px instead of rem
