The thing is, the passed list of strings is called words,
not wordList, so I see it shouldn't work.
On the other hand, the variable wordList is defined nowhere!
wordList is just a name that the function (getRandomWord) uses to

whatever values get passed to it. Remember that you don't
The rest of the list does a great job explaining the situation, which bears

You already know how to store multiple vars -- use lists! Just create a blank

to do this without relying on separate variables for each aisle, what if your
