I've made a timer that starts when you click a button. I want the timer to stop when the value of time reaches 5 but for some reason it isn't working.

let words = document.getElementById("Words");
let wordAr = ["The" , "quick" , "brown" , "fox" , "jumped" , "over" , "the" , "lazy" , "dog"];
let textIn = document.getElementById("Input");
let timer = 0;
let time = document.getElementById("Timer");
let wPM = 0;
let wpm = document.getElementById("WPM");
let text = document.getElementById("text");

words.innerHTML = wordAr.slice(0,9).join(" ");

window.addEventListener("keydown", function(key){
    if(key.keyCode == 32){
        for (let i=0; i < 1; i++){
            wPM+=1;
            wpm.innerHTML = wPM;    
        };
    };
});

let start = document.getElementById("start");

function incTime(){
    timer++;
    time.innerHTML = timer;
};  

function initTime(){
    setInterval(incTime, 1000);
};

if(timer == 5){
    console.log("done");
};

I've tried adding .value and using single equals and triple equals but all attempts are futile.

Add timer condition with in incTime() function.And use clearInterval() for break the setInterval

var timer = 0;

function incTime() {
  timer++;
  console.log(timer);
  if (timer == 5) {
    clearInterval(time_int);
    console.log('breaked')
  };
};
var time_int = '';

function initTime() {
  time_int = setInterval(incTime, 1000);
};
initTime()
