Find the longest word in a string using javascript

Question

I\'m trying to find the longest word in a string, but it continually returns the length of the first word. Any ideas?

Here\'s my code:

function findL

This is how I attempted to solve it:

function LongestWord(sen) { 
    var wordArray = sen.match(/\w+/gi);
    var longest = 0; 
    var word = undefined; 
  for(var i = 0; i < wordArray.length; i++){
    if(wordArray[i].length > longest){
      word = wordArray[i];
      longest = word.length;
    }
  }
  return word;      
}
