Hey clifford,

Remove let keyword and alert from your first code block and it should work fine!

After removing these, your code should look like this:

let secret;
do {
// Display the prompt dialogue while the value assigned to `secret` is not equal to "sesame"
   secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
}
while  (secret !== 'sesame')
// This should run after the loop is done executing
alert("You know the secret password. Welcome!");

Hope this helps!

When you declare a variable with the let keyword, you're not allowed to redeclare it. For example, the following code produces an error:

let bob;
let bob = 5;

Fix this error in your program and you will be closer to passing this challenge.

Let me know if this helps!
