Hi Jasper,

You're on the right track, but there are a couple of things wrong here:

  1. Instructions are very specific and need to be followed exactly. With that said, you have a typo for the "Pies." In the link, you have an upper-cased "Pies.html" when it needs to be lower-cased (as per the instructions) "pies.html"
  2. The links (<a> tags) need to be inside of the list (<li>) elements. In fact, in HTML, only <li> tags can be direct descendants of <ol> or <ul> elements. So, you just need to flip those around.

Below is the corrected code for you to review and compare to the notes above.

<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>

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
