+Creates an alternating text animation.
+
+- Create a `<span>` for the text that will be alternated.
+- Define an animation `alternate-text` that makes the `<span>` disappear by setting `display: none`.
+- Use JavaScript to define an array of the different words that will be alternated and use the first word to initialize the content of the `<span>`.
+- Define an event listener that will be triggered when an iteration of the animation is completed.
+- Every time the event is triggered, the next word from the array is set as content of the `<span>`.
