On line 18, use a method on the 'spareWords' to set 'firstWord' to be first word of the 'spareWords' array whilst simultaneously removing it from the beginning of the array.
By just doing: var firstWord = spareWords.shift(); Which is the apparent right answer, 'firstWord' was never even added, as it shoudl have using unshift.

8,373 PointsI think you misunderstood the question. I understood the question as: take the first word from spareWords, and add that word to the variable firstWord whilst simultaneously removing it from the beginning of the array spareWords.
