Madlibs and For Loop

I know that the instructor indicated that we may cover loops in a later stage of the course, but I was wondering how one might approach this coding exercise using the for loop.

I was thinking about this too! I think you might need an array and a for loop. Actually, I just did some hacking and needed two arrays. 

var index;
var text;
var answers = []
var words = ["noun", "adjective", "verb",];
for (index = 0; index < words.length; index++) {
    text = words[index];
    answers[index] = prompt('Please provide a' + text+'?');
    console.log(text);
    console.log(answers[index]);}
document.write( answers[0] + answers[1] + answers[2] );

You could always add all of the sentence frills to polish it up, but you end up with an array filled with the users answer. I don't know if this is the most elegant way to do this, but I've only done a little of the JavaScript course so it's what I could manage.
