Why won't my Javascript code alter the HTML as displayed in the video title "Dynamically Display HTML with a Loop"?

Running the below Javascript always produces a blank, blue screen. Instead, it should produce a row of white dots numbered one through ten with a number displayed in each dot.

This isn't the first time this has happened. In fact, it happens EVERY TIME I run Javascript code designed to interact with HTML code in one of the Javascript lessons. By the way, I'm running Windows 11 with the latest version of Chrome.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>JavaScript Loops</title>
    <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"> 
  </head>
  <body>
    <main></main>
    <script src="js/html-loop.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>```

```Javascript
const main = document.querySelector('main');
let html = '';

for ( let i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
  html += `<div>${i}</div>`;
}

main.innterHTML = html;```

Try changing main.innterHTML = html; to main.innerHTML = html;
