You are close with this however your doing something odd with your unordered list.

Remember there is two types of list unorder ul and ordered ol.

You may one use one tag type at a time, you have nested a ol inside your ul.

the correct code is as follows for you.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>

    <ul>
      <li>Shapes</li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

Hope that helps
