Can't find syntax error! console says unexpected syntax error line 22, but can't see it?
var correctGuess = false;
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6 ) + 1;
var guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 6. What is it?');
if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) {
correctGuess = true;
}else if (parseInt(guess) < randomNumber){
var guessMore = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is more than ' + guess);
if(parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber){
correctGuess = true;
}
}else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber){
var guessLess = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is less than ' + guess);
if(parseInt(guessLess) === randomNumber){
correctGuess = true;
}
if (correctGuess) {
document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>');
} else {
document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>');
}

243,656 PointsIt's looking for a closing brace.
On line 13, you have an else if that begins a code block with an open brace, but there's no matching close brace in the source. It's not until the last line of the program (22) that it becomes clear that this is an error.
