Stuck on- Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item.

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

<h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>
<ol>
  <li> Stop </li>
  <li> Drop </li>
  <li> Roll </li>

</ol>

<-- Write your code below -->
<ul>
  <li> Shapes </li>

  <li> Colors </li>

  </ul>

</body> </html>

A common mistake and it can be tricky at first. Pretty much you add a ordered list inside the <li> tagg like this:

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>

        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

You also forgot to add the ! in you HTML comment (refrence mine comment), that could have been your problem too.

thanks got the past the stage, very frustrating, but managed to do it. I had to put the <ol> after the shapes
