javascript, new object recursively

On jsbin I tested to see if this will work:

var person = new Object();
person.anon = new Object();
person.anon.name = "Someone";

well yes. Next I tried to put it to work where I needed in my code:

let task = new Object();
task.assigned = new Object();
tasks.assigned.word = w_prepared[tasks[z].assigned].word;

and I get the error:

TypeError: Cannot set property 'word' of undefined

I tried various way of expressing, all failed. Perhaps I don't understand something fundamental here.

Could you please tell me what's wrong?

You didn't create object with name tasks yet. So that you cannot set property to an undefined object.

Use 

task.assigned.word = ...

instead of

tasks.assigned.word = ...
