Code Challenge: HTML Lists

The preview looks correct, but I'm getting an error.

Here's the question: Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item.

And this is what I have: 

  <ul>
        <li>Shapes</li>
        <ol>
          <li>Squares</li>
          <li>Circles</li>
        </ol>
        <li>Colors</li>
      </ul>

The error I'm getting: Try adding the ordered list inside the list item "Shapes"

Hey, your ol needs to be inside a li.

Like this:

<!-- A list element (i.e. <ul> or <ol> )  can only contain an <li></li> -->

<ul>
   <li>
      <ol>
         <li></li>
      </ol>
   </li>
   <li></li>
</ul>
