"Wait!"
Translation:Warten Sie!

"In German, there are three main forms of the imperative that are used to give instructions or orders to someone. These correspond to the three different ways of saying you: du, ihr and Sie. However, it is only in the Sie form of the imperative that the pronoun usually appears – in the du and ihr forms, the pronoun is generally dropped, leaving only the verb." Collins dictionary So the question is, would Duo accept wartest or wartet?
Both "Warte!" and "Wartet!", but not "Wartest!" are accepted. You should look up the verb "Warten" on a site such as:

and then scroll down to the 'imperative' ("Imperativ Präsens") tense to see what is proper. I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.

That's not really correct. You should look up the verb "Warten" on a site such as:
https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-german-verb-warten.html
and then scroll down to the 'imperative' ("Imperativ Präsens") tense to see what is proper. With the second person formal, the correct 'command' is "Warten Sie". I hope this helps.
