It doesn't look like you've added any code for this task yet. But here's some hints:

  • the pseudo-class that can be used to target unvisited links is ":link"
  • the property that controls link underlining is "text-decoration"

That code is correct and should pass. Did you possibly alter some of the existing code while adding it?

No, I literally just added the code in like I have with every other answer? What do you suggest?

I tried copy/pasting your previous code and then copy/pasting that new line into the challenge and it passed.
