What am I doing wrong?

Am I displaying the clear property incorrectly? What am I missing?

style.css
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img:nth-child(3n+4) {
    float: left;
    clear: left;
  }

}
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hello, I suppose , that you should split properties to different selectors. like

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }
 img:nth-child(3n+4) {
    clear: left;
  }
}

Yup! This is the issue. The challenge wants you to float ALL images to the left and then clear the left side of only the nth-child, so you need to set up two selectors. The code in the original question would ONLY float 3n+4 rather than all images.
