I am not understanding how to take the variable 'firstWord' and 'unshift' it to 'saying'?

I understand that in this Task, the 'shift' operator removes it from 'spareWords'.

Since saying is also an array you can use unshift() to add words to the front of the array. Just use the firstWord variable we created a few lines up to add the word into the saying array.

saying.unshift(firstWord);
