You need to nest the list inside the list item of Shapes.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
     <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
     </ol>
     <ul>
       <li>Shapes
          <ol>
              <li>Square</li>
              <li>Circle</li>
          </ol>
       </li>
       <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

So presently you have an ordered list with the shapes inside of it. All you need to to is move the ordered list inside the shapes li tags instead of being outside of it. Hence the nested part
