when i include the list item tags between the ul tags, I am told that my unordered list has too many line items.

Hi Christopher,

Working through those tasks I ended up with:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
          <li>Square</li>
          <li>Circle</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

First you have the ordered list, containing the 3 list items. Then secondly you have the unordered list, containing 2 list items. Then finally you add a second ordered list inside of the Shapes list item.
