Hey Prudence,

It looks like you changed around that third line in the script quite a bit. The variable is firstWord and you are setting firstWord to the first item in the array spareWords. The way you have your code now would reset spareWords to be some other value which is not what we want. Instead, we want to use the shift method which will take the first item out of an array, store it into the variable, and remove it from the array. Your code should look like this:

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

Keep that in mind for the next set of tasks, as well!
