Why wont the number of questions go down??

var questions = 3; var questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]'; var adjective = prompt('Please type an adjective'); questions -= 1; questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]'; var verb = prompt('Please type a verb'); questions -= 1; questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]'; var noun = prompt('Please type a noun'); alert('All done. Ready for the message?'); var sentence = "<h2>There once was a " + adjective; sentence += ' programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to ' + verb; sentence += ' the ' + noun + '.</h2>'; document.write(sentence);

No, you haven't. -That's your code : var adjective = prompt('Please type an adjective'); Instead of: var adjective = prompt('Please type an adjective' + questionsLeft);

Hello! Only because you haven't added questionLeft variable to your prompt questions.
