My code works in my workspaces environment, but not for this quiz question?

Not sure what I'm missing? Code below works great in workspaces when testing.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { h1 { font-size: 2.5em; } }

Can you show us your code inside the challenge you mention? Your code does indeed seem to be written correctly, but you could be placing your breakpoint in the wrong area of your CSS.

Thanks!

:point_right: I'll bet that you put your media query near the top of the CSS file.

Media queries should always be added to the end of existing CSS, so when their conditions are met they can override any other rules with the same specificity level.

If you look through the provided CSS, you'll find that it already has a rule that sets the font-size for h1 elements. If the new rule is placed above it, the old one will override it.

Happy coding!   -sp:sparkles:
