How to close a window with the .destroy() function?

[Marcozeus]

Hi, my friend and I are doing a project and we have a problem with our code.

There is the code:

from time import *
from math import *
from re import *
from tkinter import *

def getWord():
    rootMot = Tk()
    motTexte = Entry(rootMot)
    motTexte.pack()
    motTexte.delete(0, END)
    motTexte.insert(0, "Enter your word here")
    boutonMot = Button(rootMot, text="Submit", width=10, command=rootMot.destroy())
    boutonMot.pack()
    
def exemple():
    print("Word")




root = Tk()
menu = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menu)


gameOptions = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="Game", menu=gameOptions)
gameOptions.add_command(label="New Game", command=getWord)
gameOptions.add_command(label="Options...", command=getWord)
gameOptions.add_separator()
gameOptions.add_command(label="Exit", command=getWord)


helpOptions = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="Help", menu=helpOptions)
helpOptions.add_command(label="How to play...", command=getWord)
helpOptions.add_command(label="About...", command=getWord)
mainloop()

We want to close the "rootMot" window by pressing the button "boutonMot" but we don't know how. Can you please help us?

Thank you

PS: We are french so sorry if you don't understand some variables :)

It should be a Toplevel and no parens (a reference)

rootMot = Toplevel(root)
...
boutonMot = Button(rootMot, text="Submit", width=10, command=rootMot.destroy)
