I have typed <button type="submit">Place Order</button>

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
        <option value="purple">Purple</option>
        <option value="blue">Blue</option>
        <option value="green">Green</option>

Your submit button is fine.

But you never ended your select element with a closing </select> tag.

The challenge probably should not have let that slip by until now. The instructions for bug reporting are on the Support page if you'd like to report it.
