If anyone is curious about how Case Sensitivity works for one of the examples...

I’ve tried figuring out how to use the .toUpperCase method for case sensitivity when a user is typing in the prompt. The only solution I have found is to remove secretWord variable, pass the 'guess' variable into the 'correct' variable appending .toUpperCase() - this makes it so that when a user is typing in the prompt, it automatically converts their typed answer into all uppercase to match the if statement - where the ‘correct’ variable must be strictly equal to TOMATO.

let message = 'Access denied :(';

for ( let i = 5; i >= 1; i-- ) {  
  let guess = prompt(`Enter the secret word. You have ${i} tries.`);
  let correct = guess.toUpperCase();
  if ( correct === 'TOMATO' ) {
    message = 'Welcome to the secret loop world!';
    break;  // immediately terminate the loop
  }
}

Note: the text in let = guess prompt(...) are in between two backtick characters for interpolation syntax.
