Targeting <a> elements with a title attribute

I am at the 'challenge' where it asks me to create an attribute selector that will target <a> elements with a title attribute and to give it a color property with the value darkred.

I am writing: ''' a [title] { color: darkred; } '''

It tells me it is incorrect. "Please check your attribute selector, make sure the color is set to darkred." Where am I going wrong?

Remove the space from a and [title].. 

a[title] {
       color: darkred;
}

See how that works..
