You are missing a closing curly brace at your do statement.

var secret = "sesame"; var correctGuess = false; var guess; do { guess = prompt("What is the secret password?"); if (guess === secret) { correctGuess = true; }} while ( ! correctGuess ); document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
