document.write isn't being called..

In this challenge, you will create a while loop that prints to the document 26 times. We've added a variable named count, use it to track the number of times the loop runs. Don't forget to use the document.write() method inside the loop.

What's wrong with my code here?

var count = 0;
while (count > 26) {
  document.write(count);
  count += 1;
}

I've tried reversing the document.write and the count+= 1 but still no dice.

You're using a greater-than sign, so zero is never greater than 26. Simply use a less than sign and you're all set :)
