You have the correct syntax for the stop position, but somehow the word "Inset" (which is not mentioned in the instructions) got inserted between the liinear-gradient and the parentheses.

Also, the instructions ask for a different second color than the one shown in this code.

Finally, to go from bottom to top you would specify "to top" instead of "to bottom".
