Hi, you can either use a backend or put it inside a folder. For example:
example.html becomes:

example/
  index.html

Then you just link it:

<a href="/example">click</a>

hi:)
it says page not found,
i think i didn't do it the right way can you plz :) be more specific :)@Coder100

wheres the repl @potatojs

eh i don't think trying to change the spaghetti code of the website is a good idea here is a simplified one:
https://repl.it/@potatojs/mywebsite#index.html
@Coder100

um you didn't change anything @potatojs

aha you want the changed version? ok.
https://repl.it/@potatojs/mywebsite#index.html
@Coder100

change game.html to index.html :/ didn't you see what i said @potatojs

nah i read it it's just hmmmnjhrbgzuvrrrbeb
thank you it worked :)
@Coder100

haha no problem! @potatojs

@Coder100 Bro i tried a lot of codes on the internet and none of them worked (probably also because i am still noob on coding), but yours worked, thanks you so much

np! @ADisappointment

You need to write a thingy that removes the .html. Check out this https://teamtreehouse.com/community/removing-html-from-url

is there a simpler way?
@BrownieBoi

I don't know of one @potatojs

This guy seems to know what he's talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6LyG9I-FPc @potatojs

thanks :)@BrownieBoi

yeah i found it to, but i'm waiting for coder100 that seems to have a simpler way, if not i'm going to use that one :[email protected]
