let isWinner = initialScore = !10

Right now the code is trying to assign "not 10" to the variable initialScore instead of checking the value. This is because the = sign by itself is an assignment operator. To check to is if something is not the value, you would use != for "not equals".
Once you fix up that part of the code initialScore = !10 to initialScore != 10 it will pass.
Nice work so far!! :)

682 PointsThank you! I understand now. Syntax is so particular...
