Every time i get to the third task it just says task 1 is no longer correct

I used the attached code but i keep getting a message that says my task 1 is incorrect even though it is correct.

app.js 
const warning = document.getElementById("warning");
let button = document.querySelector('#makeItRed');
button.addEventListener('click', () =>{
  warning.stlye.background ='red';
});
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Adding an Event Listener</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="warning">
            Warning: My background should be red!
        </div>
        <button id="makeItRed">Make It Red!</button>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

The challenge will sometimes give you that error when you've introduced a syntax error. In this case, you have misspelled 'style' inside your function ('stlye'). Fix that and your code is good to go.
