# Spoonerisms by Matt tags: strings, conditions ## Summary > A spoonerism is when the first letters / sounds of two words are transposed onto one another. Create a function that takes a two-word string and performs a spoonerism on the phrase. > Examples > spoonerise("history lecture") ➞ "listory hecture" > spoonerise("loud noises") ➞ "noud loises" > spoonerise("chow mein") ➞ "mow chein" > spoonerise("edabit rules!") ➞ "redabi ## Instructions A spoonerism is when the first letters / sounds of two words are transposed onto one another. Create a function that takes a two-word string and performs a spoonerism on the phrase. ### Examples ``` spoonerise("history lecture") ➞ "listory hecture" spoonerise("loud noises") ➞ "noud loises" spoonerise("chow mein") ➞ "mow chein" spoonerise("edabit rules!") ➞ "redabit ules!" ``` ### Notes - Only two words will be parsed into the function. Don't worry about handling more than two. - You won't always just have to swap the first letters, take care to notice which letters have been switched in the examples (notice the difference between vowel-starting and consonant-starting words).
