My code looks fine, i have tested it in the browser and it runs and performs the task well. I am trying to complete the challenge but every time i am pressing the button check work, it returns a bummer(error). Is this a bug that has nothing to do with my code or what am i missing?
var count = 0;
while (count < 27) {
document.write(`<p>We are now in loop ${count}</p>`);
count += 1;
}

Secondly, you've almost got it except that your code will print to the document 27 times, not 26. The value of count is initialized at '0' and your condition is set to check until value of count variable is less than 27. One simple change will get you there, just set your condition to check for count<26;

But also check your condition, the loop should run 26 times (and remember the count starts at zero).

13,608 PointsHey Seth, thank you very much for the help, I will correct the condition and use string concatenation in place of template literals (which I prefer).
