So I finished the “silly story generator” assessment for JavaScript but I don’t think I did it right. I went live with the HTML and it didn’t work the way I was hoping it to. Can someone go over my code and explain to me what I’ve done wrong?
Here’s my editable code: https://codepen.io/gijutaku/pen/ExEWZmR

Hi @gijutaku23 and welcome to the community 
Good work so far! 
Here are some hints to get you further:
replace() doesn’t change the string directly. It returns the new string.:insertX:. Maybe have a look at replaceAll().storyText instead of newStory. This needs to be changed.I hope that helps. Feel free to ask more questions if something isn’t clear enough. 
Have a nice day,
Michael
Thank you so much @mikoMK! You’ve really helped me a lot, especially in the first bullet point where you further explained the replace() method to me. That was the biggest issue as to why my code wasn’t working. I went back into the “Useful string methods” article and saw the proper syntax I had to put in. Now my code is fully functioning! Thank you again! 
You’re welcome. I’m glad my hints were helpful.
I had another look at your exercise and now it works properly. 
One more thing to keep in mind for the future:
I recommend using const by default for variable declarations instead of let. It will help preventing accidental variable redeclarations.
