Hey Walter,

I looked over your code and noticed you were missing a closing brace on the opening if statement.

Here is your code with the brace included, and it runs:

var correctGuess = false;
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6 ) + 1;
var guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 6. What is it?');
if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber ) {
  correctGuess = true;
} else if (parseInt(guess) < randomNumber ) {
  var guessMore = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is greater than' + guess);  
  if (parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber) {
      correctGuess = true;

} else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber ) {
  var guessLess = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is less than' + guess);
  if (parseInt(guessLess) === randomNumber) {
      correctGuess = true;
  }  
}
} // <-- Missing brace
if ( correctGuess ) {
    document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>');
} else {
    document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>');
}

Good luck with the course!
