Challenge: Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu - Step 80

Link to the challenge:

I would recommend you get familiar with searching the MDN docs as they are one of the best resources for web development.

MDN: Pseudo-classes:

“A CSS pseudo-class is a keyword added to a selector that specifies a special state of the selected element(s). For example, the pseudo-class :hover can be used to select a button when a user’s pointer hovers over the button and this selected button can then be styled.”

So this step is asking you to style the link grey if the user has already visited the link.
