routing and rendering templates in an ExpressJs app

Is there a bug with express that affects the routing or rendering of templates? Maybe I'm having a brain fart. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question; it's just I've been at this for hours and I can't quite figure out what the actual problem is

When I do this:

router.get('/seemore/:id', function (req, res, next) {
  Word.findOne({_id: req.params.id}, function(err, words) {
    if(err) {
      console.log(err);
    }
    res.render('wordDetails', {words: words});
  });
});

the wordDetails.hbs gets rendered without the css and javascript files, and I get 404 messages for those files

But when I do this:

router.get('/seemore', (req, res, next) => {
  res.render('wordDetails');
});

everything works just fine; the wordDetails.hbs template gets rendered properly css, javascript, and all
