You made a typo my friend. You wrote raMdomnumber and you are adding the var raNdomnumber that doesn't exist. Fix the variable and everything works.

This line is incomplete - var ramdomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random * 6) + 1;

Math.random is a function, it needs () to be invoked.

still not working,

var ramdomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;

var guess = prompt('Guess the number between 1 to 6');

if( parseInt(guess) === randomNumber){ document.write('<p>you are Right!</p>');

}else {

document.write('<p>Sorry' + randomNumber + 'is the number!' + '</p>');

}

This should work. As Manish stated above Math.random is a function. 

      var randomNumber = Math.floor(6 * Math.random() ) +1;
      //alert(randomNumber)
      var guess = prompt("Guess the number between 1 - 6");


      if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber)
      {
        document.write("<p>" + "You are right! " + "</p>");
      }
      else
      {
        document.write("<p>" + "Sorry, " + randomNumber + "Is the number!" + "</p>");
      }
