I went back through the challenge and tried it out myself.

What you have

#gallery li:nth-child(4){ clear: left; }

That clears the fourth item in the list. And this solution actually works in the preview.

However, the question is asking for every fourth item. The wording is tricky. If you go back through the video it actually says in the teacher's notes about this. This is because every 4th item, the images are supposed to align on the left column.

If there were more images, say 8 images, you'd need to clear the left side again.

What you should have

#gallery li:nth-child(4n){ clear: left; }
