When you are select every 4th type, you need to use "nth-of-type(4n)" instead of "nth-child(4n)".

"nth-child(4n)" will only select the 4th li in this case, instead of every 4th li.

Hope that helps! Good Luck!

Also make sure you don't leave space between the selector. It should be li:nth-of-type(4n)

Hi Caleb,

nth-of-type would work too but there's nothing wrong with using nth-child for this and it would probably be more appropriate to use nth-child since the only children are li's. nth-of-type is good when you have a mixture of siblings.

The problem was with the spacing around the colon as you noted in your comment.
