I am trying to import an array of words into my hangman game, however, I am encountering an error

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split') Word /src/components/Word.js:8:20 5 | 6 | return ( 7 |

8 | {selectedWord.split('').map((letter, i) => { | ^ 9 | return ( 10 | 11 | {correctLetters.includes(letter) ? letter : ''}

Here is the Words.js file where the error appears to be occurring on line 8:

import React from 'react';

// rendering the list of correct words
const Word = ({ selectedWord, correctLetters }) => {

  return (
    <div className="word">
      {selectedWord.split('').map((letter, i) => {
        return (
          <span className="letter" key={i}>
            {correctLetters.includes(letter) ? letter : ''}
          </span>
        )
      })}
    </div>
  )
}

export default Word

Any help to fix this problem would be much appreciated, Thanks :)
