The problem is that you're misunderstanding the challenge, you should have something like this at the end:

You have to add a new un-ordered list, and inside the Shapes list add a nested ordered-list and inside it add the rest of the list tags:

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <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>
