I think that in the challenge it asks for you to use Unordered Lists <ul> and Ordered Lists <ol> and that you have to differentiate between them.

Hello Mary,

This particular challenge wants you to use ordered lists and unordered lists to solve it. Remember, you can notate an ordered list in HTML using the <ol></ol> and adding <li></li> as the list items nested inside of it. See below:

<ol>
  <li>Stop</li>
  <li>Drop</li>
  <li>Roll</li>
</ol>

Later in the challenge it asks you to nest a list inside of another one. Doing so looks like the following:

<ul> Unordered List
  <li>
    <ol> Ordered List nested inside of it
      <li>List item</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ul>

I hope this helps!

Cheers, happy coding!!
