Question

In my word game, when the correct letters spell the word, it will disappear with “wordglow2”. At the moment it does this to the word. If I wanted to make the whole row disappear when a correct word was spelt on it, how would I do that?

$(".drop").droppable({
drop: function(event, ui) {
    word = $(this).data('word');

    guesses[word].push($(ui.draggable).attr('data-letter'));
    console.log($(event));
    console.log($(ui.draggable).text());

    console.log('CHECKING : ' + $(this).text() + ' against ' + $(ui.draggable).text().trim());


    if ($(this).text() == $(ui.draggable).text().trim()) {

        $(this).addClass('wordglow3');
    } else {
        $(this).addClass('wordglow');
    }
    console.log('CHECKING : ' + $(this).text() + ' against ' + $(ui.draggable).text().trim());


    console.log(guesses);

    if (guesses[word].length == 3) {
        if (guesses[word].join('') == word) {
            $('td[data-word=' + word + ']').addClass("wordglow2");

        } else {
            $('td[data-word=' + word + ']').addClass("wordglow4");
            guesses[word].splice(0, guesses[word].length);
        }
    }

I would have though it would have been like this, but it didn’t work…

  if (guesses[word].length == 3) {
        if (guesses[word].join('') == word) {
            $('td[data-word=' + word + 'td' + ']').addClass("wordglow2");

As per the comments:

Currently you will have

.wordglow2 { background: red; }

Update it so it reads

.wordglow2 td { background: red; }

and then update your jQuery code, so it does

$('td[data-word=' + word + ']').parent().addClass("wordglow2");

This will then apply the background colour to all of the cells within your row.
