I don't see the instructions you mentioned.

:point_right: It looks like your next task is task 5: Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item.

    <!-- Ordered List -->
    <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>

    <!-- Unordered List -->
    <ul>
      <li>
        Shapes
        <!-- Ordered List nested inside Unordered List -->
        <ol>
          <li>Square</li>
          <li>Circle</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

It walk you through step by step. Create Ordered List open and closing tags <ol></ol>, then you have the list of items Stop, Drop, and Roll in the next step and so on. Just answer - if asked to create unordered list then create <ul></ul> and not yet list in it, that will be provided in the next step. Helpful?
