You should take off the quotation

saying.unshift(firstWord);

Never mind, the problem is a syntax error. When you pass a variable, like firstWord, into a method as an argument you don't need to put it in quotations. Right now you are putting the word "firstWord" into the array as the first word instead of the value of the firstWord variable.
