This question is asking me to set the second <a> attribute with an href="pies.html". I have done this and it won't pass

I think there might be a bug in the system or I am blind...

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>

Hello Miriam,

Notice how the list <li> </li> goes around everything else. Next you "nest" the <a> </a> tags inside the <li> tags.

May I recommend a website to help you find and correct your future problems? Copy and paste your code into this website and it will identify your errors with a bit more detail than TeamTreehouse provides you. It will also let you know which lines are causing you problems. https://validator.w3.org/nu/#textarea

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

I wish you well.

Happy Coding,

Mark
