    How to .destroy() a window by using another function?

    I want to delete the window "rootMot" by running the function "draw" when the button "boutonMot" is pressed. But this error keep showing up:
    " File "C:\Users\Admin \Desktop\Codes Python\Bonhomme pendu.py", line 18, in draw
    rootMot.destroy ()
    NameError: global name 'rootMot' is not defined "

    Here the code:

    Code:
    from time import *
from math import *
from re import *
from tkinter import *



def getWord():
    rootMot = Toplevel(root)
    motTexte = Entry(rootMot)
    motTexte.pack()
    motTexte.delete(0, END)
    motTexte.insert(0, "Enter your word here")
    boutonMot = Button(rootMot, text="Submit", width=10, command=draw)
    boutonMot.pack()

def draw():
    rootMot.destroy()
    drawing = Tk()
    gameDraw = Canvas(drawing, width=200, height=100)
    gameDraw.pack()
    gameDraw.create_line(0, 0, 200, 100)
    gameDraw.create_line(0, 100, 200, 0, fill="red", dash=(4, 4))
    gameDraw.create_rectangle(50, 25, 150, 75, fill="blue")
    mainloop()


    
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()
    Thank you

      One way is to assign the callback as a lambda and pass the widget as an argument. I would also suggest setting focus to the entry widget and selecting the text so the user only has to start typing the word.
      Code:
      def getWord():
    rootMot = Toplevel(root)
    motTexte = Entry(rootMot)
    motTexte.pack()
    motTexte.delete(0, END)
    motTexte.insert(0, "Enter your word here")
    boutonMot = Button(rootMot, text="Submit", width=10,
                       command=lambda: draw(rootMot))
    boutonMot.pack()
    motTexte.focus_set()
    motTexte.selection_range(0, END)
 
def draw(widget):
    widget.destroy()
    drawing = Tk()
    gameDraw = Canvas(drawing, width=200, height=100)
    gameDraw.pack()
    gameDraw.create_line(0, 0, 200, 100)
    gameDraw.create_line(0, 100, 200, 0,
                         fill="red", dash=(4, 4))
    gameDraw.create_rectangle(50, 25, 150, 75,
                              fill="blue")
    mainloop()
