1,429 PointsJust doing MASH the game. I duplicate her work and it says doctype has to be above the <head>??
I'm just starting the MASH game. HTML part first. Her example shows the head above doctype. When I do the worksheet checker says the head has to be within the doctype. Not above as shown. Still when I out the head on top I couldn't get it to work
<head>
<!DOCTYPE>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Futuristic MASH</title>
<h1>Futuristic MASH</h1>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet">
<p> Directions to play the game: </p>
</head>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The h1 tag and p tag shouldn't be in the <head> either, does this help?
Edit: The question is asking you to delete elements that don't belong in the <head>, so the answer would be:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Futuristic MASH</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
