The HTML list challenge keeps returning two responses indicating that my code is incorrect. Unable to proceed.

The HTML List Objective Challenge Task 2 is preventing me from progressing further. The challenge requires me to add list items "Stop", "Drop", "Roll" to the ordered list.

The code i entered is a normal ordered list.

However when i check the work, I keep getting one of the below responses:

1 - Add three elements to the list 2 - There are too many items in your unordered list , remove some. (even though the question requires me to add to a ordered list).

Any help would be appreciated.

<html> <head>List Challenge</head> <body> <ol> <li>Stop</li> <li>Drop</li> <li>Roll</li> </ol> </body> </html>

Does this make sense?

I did add it, i added the < ol > tag instead because it asked for an ordered list. It did not appear in the list above for some reason. So the code i used was html < ol > < li > Stop < /li > < li > Drop < /li > < li > Roll < /l i> </ol > . Do you think there maybe a glitch or something?

You don't close the ol tag ! I tried the challenge and success ! It's and unordered list so use 

<ul></ul>
