Score

What we are doing

Each finished word scores one point per letter: long words are harder, so they are worth more. The score is shown at the top left.

```js
let score

  score = 0

    words = words.filter((w) => w !== target)
    score += target.text.length

  ctx.font = 'bold 16px sans-serif'
  ctx.fillText('Score ' + score, 10, 22)
```

What it means

• score starts at 0 and grows by the word's length when it is finished.
• The score line comes before textAlign = 'right', so it is still left-aligned (from the words), at (10, 22).

Your turn

1. Under let lives write let score; in reset, under lives = 3, write score = 0.
2. In type, under the line that removes the finished word, write score += ....
3. In draw, under ctx.font = 'bold 16px sans-serif', write the score line.
