This code is not running, and I'm not sure why..

//quiz begings with no questions answered

var correct = 0;

// questions

var questionOne = prompt('How many months are in a year?');
  if (questionOne.toUpperCase() === 'TWELVE' || questionOne === '12'){
      correct += 1;
  }
var questionTwo = prompt('How many weeks are in a month?');
  if (questionTwo.toUpperCase() === 'FOUR' || questionTwo === '4'){
    correct += 1;
  }
var questionThree = prompt('How many letters are in the word alphabet?');
  if (questionThree.toUpperCase() === 'EIGHT' || questionThree === '8'){
    correct += 1;
  }
var questionFour = prompt('How many days are in a week?');
  if (questionFour.toUpperCase() === 'SEVEN' || questionFour === '7'){
    correct += 1;
  }
var questionFive = prompt('How many minutes are in an hour?');
  if (questionFive.toUpperCase() === 'SIXTY' || questionFive === '60'){
    correct += 1;
  }

// write results
document.write('<p>You answered ' + correct + 'questions correctly</p>');

// ranking

If (correct === 5){
  document.write('<p><strong>You earned a gold crown</strong></p>');
} else if (correct >= 3) {
  document.write('<p><strong>You earned a silver crown</strong></p>');
} else if (correct >= 1 {
  document.write('<p><strong>You earned a bronze crown</strong></p>');           
} else {
  document.write('<p><strong>No crown for you today</strong></p>');
};

I've added some formatting to your code to make it easier to read. You can do this using the following markdown:

```language

Hey chukudi , i found some mistakes which usually happens i mention those in comments

  • small i in first condition
  • missing bracket in third condition
if (correct === 5){                                                                 //error
 document.write('You earned a gold crown'); 
} else if (correct >= 3) {
 document.write('You earned a silver crown');
 } else if (correct >= 1 ){                                                 //error
document.write('You earned a bronze crown');
} else { 
document.write('No crown for you today'); 
};

Runs like a charm. JavaScript is unforgiving with typos )
