Ending on wrong statement

Hello when I guess the correct answer on the first try the program doesn't end on the true statement instead it ends as if the guess was false. I added a console log to display the number so i can guess it correctly but when i do the program ends and says i got the question wrong 

var correctGuess = false;

//Asking for starting information name and generating random number also asking for user input.;
var userName = prompt('lets test your luck, but first let me know your name');
var randomNumber = parseInt(Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1);
console.log(randomNumber);
var guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 6. Try and guess what it is');


if (guess === randomNumber) {
    correctGuess = true;
} else if (guess < randomNumber) {
    var guessMore = parseInt(prompt(' Try agian. The number I am thinking is more than ' + guess));
    if (guessMore === randomNumber) {
        correctGuess = true;
    }

} else if (guess > randomNumber) {
    var guessLess = parseInt(prompt('<p> Try agian. The number I am thinking is less than ' + guess));
    if (guessLess === randomNumber) {
        correctGuess = true;
    }
}

if (correctGuess) {
    document.write('<p> Wow ' + userName + ' you are really lucky good guess</p>');
} else {
    document.write('<p>I\'m sorry ' + userName + ' the right number was ' + randomNumber + '</p>');
}

I feel so stupid I found my error I was converting the number that was already a number instead of the string that the user inputs into a number. once I moved the parseInt to the guess value the program ran correctly.
