hi, I suppose I have written the right code to fallback my h1 to sans-serif. font-family: 'Monoton', sans-serif;

it is saying i haven't put my code.

Your code looks right, not sure why it's not taking it. I redid the challenge and used the following :

h1 { font-family: 'Monoton', sans-serif; }

It accepted mine. Are you still having this issue?

Hi Pratik,

Your code is correct. However, after wrestling with the code challenge a bit, it appears the challenge will only accept your code if the font-family attribute is the only one in the h1 rule. This is strange.

Nick Pettit, this is probably a bug to address?

Thanks,

-Greg
