missed variable only increments once

So when the else if statement is true it increments the missed counter by 1 but it only the first it increments it from 0 to 1 but the following times it doesn't increment it stays at 1.

const checkLetter = arr =>{ const matched = ''; let missed = 0; for (let i = 0; i < lists.length; i++) { if (eve.textContent == lists[i].textContent) { li[i].classList.add('show'); matched.value += eve.textContent; } else if(i = lists.length ){ missed += 1; console.log(missed); } } };

Hi Angel,

I am not sure I understand exactly what the problem might be, but here is one possible cause:

Your operators '=', '==', etc, might not be used correctly. Check the link below for more information on JS operators.

I hope this helps :)
