Having issues with matching letters
var words = ["hello", "hunger", "buy", "turkey"];
var choseAlphebet = [];
var index;
var chosenWord = []
var win = []
var index = Math.floor(Math.random() * 4)
var stringLenght = words[index]
var letters = document.querySelector("#letters");
var correct = document.querySelector("#word")
var lives = 5;
document.onkeyup = function(event){
var keyup = String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode).toLowerCase();
console.log(stringLenght)
var split = stringLenght.split("")
console.log(split)
for(var i = 0; split.length > i; i++) {
if(keyup == split[i]) {
win.push(keyup);
correct.innerHTML = win;
} else {
choseAlphebet.push(keyup);
letters.innerHTML = choseAlphebet;
}
}
if(split.length === win.length) {
split.length = []
win.length = []
alert("win")
}
}
