     @penryu you can do the adjective first for extra emphasis, to show emotion.

     @evan Unless you were suggesting they counted my answer wrong because it showed the incorrect level of emotional emphasis for the exercise.

     If so, I can only say that they have been entirely flexible about noun/adjective order in all exercises so far. And there is insufficient context in the exercise to make such a distinction credit-worthy.

     @evan Yes. Unfortunately Duolingo disagrees with us.

     For context, I majored in Spanish before defecting to CS, but noun/adjective word order is not an advanced concept.

     I am not perfect, and I have made plenty of goofs in my days spent reviewing. But I have never tapped the "My answer should have been accepted" option so many times in my life.
