What did I wrong here [Write to file in new line]?

I want to make a simple function that writes two words to a file each on a new line. But if I run this code it only writes "tist - tost" to the file.

Code:

def write_words(word1, word2):
    w = open("output.txt", "w")
    w.write(word1 + " - " + word2 + '\n')
    w.close()

write_words("test", "tast")
write_words("tist", "tost")

Output: 

tist - tost

How can I write the two phrases to the file?

You need to open your file in append mode, also as a more pythonic way for opening a file you can use with statement which close the file at the end of block :

def write_words(word1, word2):
    with open("output.txt", "a") as f :
        f.write(word1 + " - " + word2 + '\n')
