After trying everything I can think of, and utilizing AI as well, I can’t seem to solve step 18. Are there a pair of fresh eyes out there that can help locate the problem? :folded_hands:

  1. You should use the :checked pseudo-class on radio buttons to change the text color of the associated label when the option is selected.

do you think this will select your labels?

they are not siblings to input elements, are they?

Ok, so I’ve changed the css, so that the text also turns blue when the radio button is clicked. Despite working, criteria 18 is not solved when I run the tests.

Here is the code:

.radio-group label:has(input[type=“radio”]:checked) {

color: blue;

}

now you need to remove this
