Is there a glitch in this quiz ?

Hey ,

I am doing a quiz where I need to edit code in a basic html course. I believe my code is correct and seems to come as expected in the preview. Here is the problem and my resolved answer: Change the "href" of pies to "pies.html". Below is what I did and can not for the life of me see what is mistaken!

<a href="cakes.html"><li>Cakes</li></a> <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a> <a href="candy.html"><li>Candy</li> </a>

I would appreciate some help.

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

  </body>
</html>

I don't know why it's giving you that specific error, but to get the correct solution you just need to change the structure a little - the <a> elements should be inside the <li> element. You currently have your <li> elements inside your <a> elements.
