The href attribute for the second <a> needs to be set to pies.html creating a listlink which I set it as. What is wrong?

The second link doesn't seem to be working. Although it looks right on the page with three listed hyperlinks

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>

Hi there! You're doing great, but you've got things a little backwards. The only direct descendents of an unordered list may be either another unordered list, an ordered list, or a list item. This means that the anchor tags should be inside your list item rather than on the outside of it. You can view the permitted descendants of an unordered list here

Here's an example of how the first link should look:

<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>  <!-- here we have the link inside the list item -->

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
