you are really close, and heading in the right direction but this logic is still a bit off.

// **********
// HINTS
// **********

// break your code into pieces and focus on one piece at a time...
// 1. if word begins with a vowel send to one function: adds "yay"
// 2. if word begins in with a consonant send to another function: splices off beginning, returns word with new ending.
// 3. if multiple words, create array of words, loop over them, sending them to different functions and creating a new array with the new words.
