var spareWords = ["The","chimney","sweep's","dog"];
var saying = ["quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy"];
var firstWord = spareWords.shift();
var lastWord = spareWords.pop();
saying.unshift(firstWord);
saying.push(lastWord);

1,970 PointsHi Julian,
Unfortunately id did not work. I have done the following as I understood from the challenge. It still did not work.
Thanks.
var spareWords = ["The","chimney","sweep's","dog"]; console.log(spareWords)
var firstWord = spareWords.unshift("firstWord"); console.log(spareWords) spareWords.shift();
console.log(spareWords)

var spareWords = ["The","chimney","sweep's","dog"];
var saying = ["quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy"];
var firstWord = spareWords.shift();
var lastWord = spareWords.pop();
