the challenge appears to be broken?
var count = 0;
while ( count < 26 ) {
document.write("<h1> hello </h1>");
}

is never increased, and is therefore always under 26, causing the loop to run forever. You can add count = count + 1;
after your document.write
statement, and that should remedy your code.

Courses Plus Student 21,240 PointsOh, it most certainly is! I still get caught up on things that "should" work, only to find that I've made a silly typo or some other mistake. But that's how you get better and learn, so keep it up! :)
