I'm not sure why the Challenge task 2 of 2 is not accepting: <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a>

I'm not sure why the Challenge task 2 of 2 is not accepting: <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a>

It accepts this same format for the other two list items. but not this one for some reason.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <a href="cakes.html"><li>Cakes</li></a>
      <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a>
      <a href="candy.html"><li>Candy</li></a>
    </ul>  
  </body>
</html>
