Lost on this one. How do I make it document.write into the answer field? Any help is appreciated thank you.

scripts.js 
var answer = prompt ("What day is it?")
prompt("What day is it?"); document.write(answer);

It looks like you already have the answer.

You just have an extra call to prompt that shouldn't be there. The second line should just be:

document.write(answer);
