You need to set the 'href' attribute of the second <a> element to 'pies.html'.?

I don't what I'm doing wrong?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes<a/></li>
    <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
  </ul>
  </body>
</html>

Hi, look closely at your first closing anchor tag (Cakes), you have made a small syntax error by putting the forward slash after the a instead of before it.

The code below should put you through the challenge.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
  </ul>
  </body>
</html>

You seem to be doing everything great! You made one slight and common error after Cakes. The closing anchor tag is <a/> when it should be </a>.

Good work, though!
