Shouldn't this be "Der weißer Wolf", because 'white wolf' is in the nominative case, and wolf is masculine? The hint drop-down indicates that the white they provide is feminine.

Never mind, I found out why: I need to use a weak inflection (with article) because "Der" is present preceding the adjective. So the correct answer is "weiße."
