Hi Jason, Thank you for your reply. I finally figured it out last night and yes, it was task 3 and your explanation below is what I came up with also. I guess I was over thinking the question. Thanks again

Hi Allen,

I'm not sure which task you're on. Since I see unshift in the code I'll assume task 3. You have some extra code there not called for in the challenge.

In your code you're adding on to the spareWords array the string "firstWord".

You're supposed to add on to the beginning of the saying array the value of the variable firstWord not the string.

saying.unshift(firstWord);

Let me know if you were on a different task.
