HTML HTML Basics Getting Started with HTML Lists and Links Challenge

Code Challenge is telling me my answer is wrong, but I'm almost positive it isn't. Am I missing something obvious?

It's telling me that I need to set the href value to "pies.html". Well, I did and it isn't working. I've looked over this and can't figure out what I've done wrong. Am I missing some obvious mistake? Or is this a error with the code challenge itself?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <li> <a href="cakes.html">Cakes<a/> </li>
    <li> <a href="pies.html">Pies<a/> </li>
    <li> <a href="candy.html">Candy<a/> </li>
  </ul>

  </body>
</html>

Hi there! You're so close. And it's a very tiny error. I'd almost count it a typo. In all of your closing anchor tags you've typed <a/> instead of </a>. Note the placement of the forward slash.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
