A winning streak

What we are doing

A streak counts words solved in a row. A win adds one; a loss sets it back to 0.

```js
let streak = 0

  if ([...word].every((l) => guessed.has(l))) {
    state = 'won'
    streak += 1
  } else if (wrong === MAX_WRONG) {
    state = 'lost'
    streak = 0
  }

  ctx.fillText('Streak ' + streak, 260, 70)
```

What it means

• streak starts at 0 once, when the page loads; newWord does not touch it, so it lives across words.
• A win adds one, a loss resets it.
• It is drawn above the misses, with the same font and color.

Your turn

1. Under let state ... write let streak = 0.
2. In guess, under state = 'won' write streak += 1; under state = 'lost' write streak = 0.
3. In draw, above the Misses line, write the Streak line. Press Run.
