When I was following the tutorial, I found that if I missed a Vstack inside NavigationView, the list part below textfield couldn 't present on the screen.

NavigationView {
    TextField("Type a new word", text: $newWord, onCommit: addNewWord)
        .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
        .padding()

    List(self.usedWords, id:\.self) {
        Text($0)
    }
}

I tried to wrap TextField and List with a Vstack, it works perfectly with list of words shown on the screen.

NavigationView {
            VStack {
                TextField("Type a new word", text: $newWord, onCommit: addNewWord)
                    .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
                    .padding()

                List(self.usedWords, id:\.self) {
                    Text($0)
                }
            }
        }

I was kind of struggling to understand why. Could someone kindly help me on this?
