I’m using the JavaScript Absolute Beginner’s Guide. I’m on Ch. 5

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Loops!</title>

    <style>

    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <script>
        for (let i = 0; i > 10; i++) {
            saySomething();
        }

        function saySomething() {
            document.writeIn("hello!")
        }
    </script>
</body>

</html>
```

You were very close. The `document.writeIn("hello!")` is actually `document.writeln("hello!")`. This is a very subtle spelling mistake.

It has to do with the spelling of **writeln**. It is short for writeline. What you have as a capital “I” should actually be a lowercase “L” 🙂

Once you make that one letter change, your code should work!
