I do not understand the question in JavaScript Methods Part 1 Code Challenge.

I thought what was being asked of me was to add a string to the beginning of the array called 'firstWord' and then turn around and take the first string of the array, which was the string I just added ('firstWord'), right back off. Can someone either rephrase the question or give me the answer so I can figure out what was really being asked.

They just want you to put the first word of the spaceWords array (which is "The") inside the variable firstWord, using a method. Think about the method you could use to achieve this.

Here a "generic exemple", I don't give you the method:

      var spareWords = ["The","chimney","sweep's","dog"];

      var firstWord = spareWords.methodYouNeedtoFind();

      // once the method applied firstWord will have the string "The".

Jim shows how to use this method in the course :) If ever you are blocked, feel free to ask but that shoudln't be too difficult to solve, you'll find the answer :).
