Trailhead challenge - Create and use custom controllers

Hi all. I am trying to complete the custom controller trailhead and the following code samples are returning these errors:

- VF page - Unknown property: 'ContactsListController.contacts'
- Apex class - Unexpected token 'String'.

VF page
  
<apex:page controller="ContactsListController">
    <apex:form>
    	<apex:pageBlock title="Contacts List" id="contacts_list">
		<!-- Contacts List -->
		<apex:pageBlockTable value="{! contacts }" var="ct">
            <apex:column value="{! ct.FirstName }"/>
            <apex:column value="{! ct.LastName }"/>
            <apex:column value="{! ct.Title }"/>
            <apex:column value="{! ct.Email }"/>
        </apex:pageBlockTable>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
Custom Apex Controller
  
private String sortOrder = 'LastName';
public List<Contact> getContacts() {
    List<Contact> results = Database.query(
        'SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Title, Email ' +
        'FROM Contact ' +
        'ORDER BY ' + sortOrder + ' ASC ' +
        'LIMIT 10'
    );
    return results;
}
