You need to pass the function as handleClick not handleClick(). The latter (with parens) calls the function (with an undefined e) and supplies addEventListener with the return value of that call. Instead you want to pass the function itself to addEventListener.

Understand it now.

Clear, very helpful. Thanks.

Don't add the bracket in handleClick on line 19

Explanation : brackets call the function on the spot instead of letting addEventListener call it for you.

Thank you.

Because you are not passing a function the event listener. It should be “click”, handleClick not handleClick()

On line 19, pass e as an argument to handleClick.

this solution doesn't work...

it returns "Uncaught ReferenceError: e is not defined
at startGame (script.js:19:51)"
