Why "error:variable 'counter' is not found" comes up?

for (let counter = 5; counter <= 100; counter++) { console.log(${counter}); } console.log(${counter});

script.js 
for (let counter = 5; counter <= 100; counter++)  {
  console.log(`${counter}`);
}
console.log(`${counter}`);

The scope of let counter is only within the for block. Change let to var for this code to work.
