.unshift and .shift

"On line 18, use a method on the 'spareWords' to set 'firstWord' to be first word of the 'spareWords' array whilst simultaneously removing it from the beginning of the array" I have tried several times, can't solve this, need help

var firstWord = spareWords.shift();

shift() removes and returns the first element in an array. pop() removes and returns the last element.

Hope that helps. :)

Hi, there! Well, I know the basics, but I can't get it to work in the challenge

It works perfect to me so it must work for you too. Try to reopen the browser and refresh the page with ctrl + F5 to clear the cached items.

Sometimes the challenges get buggy and you have to refresh a couple of times.
