What is wrong with my list code?

They asked me to put the square and circle nested inside the Shapes list, what is wrong with my code?

index.html 
<!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
        <ol>Square</ol>
        <ol>Circle</ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

Hi Nick,

Would the following work? I assume that you are building an ordered list nested within an unordered list:

<!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>
    <ol>
          <li>Square</li>
          <li>Circle</li>
    </ol>    
  <li>Colors</li>
</ul>

</body> </html>

I hope that this helps.

Best regards,

Mustafa
