Code works with 4 letter words, but not random word length

tpgames

I do not understand why this code does not work? It will show ????? for the word length, but will does not actually access the individual letters within the word list. I enter the vowels as guesses, and NONE of the vowels are said to be in the word. I'm trying to put the working code in a separate JS file, instead of having the silly thing on the same HTML page. This might allow me to incorporate user choosing which game to play within the same HTML page, if my other support issue gets resolved.
Thanks!

ps. The code appears to work if I have the JS on the same page as the HTML.

Oops! Forgot to change title. Code does NOT work period, when I put JS in own file.

Well, code does NOT work even within the same HTML file. I recopied the original, into a new HTML file - EXACTLY! Tested it. Works. Then, I changed the wordlist to be 5 letters long "abcde", "abcde" etc. The code refused to work. I made absolutely certain that the wordlists was made exactly like the 4 letter word list. I double checked to be sure it was "abcde", "abcde") and NOT "abcde, "abcde') or some other error.

ORIGINAL Code (with wordlist edited down considerably)

SOLVED!!! Okay, so I KNOW that the code used CAPS letters unless you change one bit of the code in the HTML file to SMALL case letters. Once, I got the word lists letter to be the same size as the HTML file letters, the code once more worked. LOL

thus the best answer is my own. Get a better editor! lol
