Really struggling with this particular challenge

I'm stuck on the first question and when I tried to reference other discussions on this question, it seems like my answer is correct:

.h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }

What's going on? Thanks!

Can you reference the tutorial?

First off, try removing the full-stop before the h1 selector. A full stop is typically used to select a class.

.h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }

h1 is not a class, its just a regular element, so it should not be preceded with a .

try

h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }
