My first task is not passing again..

I think I'm getting the code right but something is making the first task not pass...

<script>
      var spareWords = ["The","chimney","sweep's","dog"];
      var saying = ["quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy"];
      var firstWord = spareWords.shift();
      var lastWord = spareWords.pop();
      var firstWord = saying.unshift();
      saying;
    </script>

unshift is a method, it's called on an array, and you pass whatever you're unshifting as a parameter:

saying.unshift(firstWord);

There's no reason to assign this to a variable.

Also a little tip, whenever a challenge already has some code that you should expand on (on a particular line), usually you don't need to add anything in front of that code, you just need to add to it.

Hello! I don't remember the exact question but it's what Dino was saying from above:

<script>
      var spareWords = ["The","chimney","sweep's","dog"];
      var saying = ["quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy"];
      var firstWord = spareWords.shift();
      var lastWord = spareWords.pop();
      saying.unshift(firstWord);
      saying;
    </script>

So it should add the word firstWord in the beginning...
