What am I missing?
var secret = "seseme"; do { var entry = prompt("What is the secret password?"); } while ( entry !== secret ); document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
var secret = "seseme";
do {
var entry = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while ( entry !== secret );
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing terrific and you do have a solution that would work (although it differs a bit from some others). However, you made a critical typo. You misspelled the "secret" word. You typed seseme, but the password should be sesame. Note the "a" in the second version.
When I make that simple correction, your code passes with flying colors! Hope this helps!
