Why will the answer not write to the screen?

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 ) {
  document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>');
} else {
  documnet.write('<p>Sorry. The number was '+ randomNumber + ' </p>');
}

Looks like a spelling error in the else clause:

documnet.write() --> document.write()
