Workshop › Wordle-style Word Guess › Step 6 of 26

Draw again and again

What we are doing

The picture must follow every key, so we redraw it all the time: a loop that draws and asks the browser to run it again before the next screen refresh.

```js
function loop() {
  draw()
  requestAnimationFrame(loop)
}

requestAnimationFrame(loop)
```

What it means

• loop draws once, then books itself for the next frame.
• The last line starts the loop. It replaces the old single draw() call.

Your turn

Replace the draw() call at the bottom with the loop function and requestAnimationFrame(loop).
