A couple things here wrong with the code you have.... first you are missing the closing list tag for shapes, second you don't need the extra shapes, with the ordered list tags, that you have underneath the first listed shapes. And lastly the last challenge, number 6, is asking you to "Add the items "Square" and "Circle" to the list nested under "Shapes" " . So these items would be list items within the ordered list that you placed inside of Shapes. 

    <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>    
    </ol>

    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
         <ol>  <!------- Ordered list nested inside shapes -->
            <li>Square</li> <!------List items inside the ordered list that is nested under "Shapes"-->
            <li>Circle</li>
         </ol>
      </li>   <!------Closing list tag for shapes-->
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Hope this helps! Keep up the good work! :)

Not sure what you're trying to do, but here's an example. So, the whole nested list should go inside the parent list tag.

<ul>
  <li>colors
    <ol>
      <li>red</li>
      <li>green</li>
      <li>blue</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ul>
