### ![:checkered_flag:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/checkered_flag.png?v=3 ":checkered_flag:") Problem Explanation:
# Word Blanks
We will now use our knowledge of strings to build a **Mad Libs** style word game we're calling "Word Blanks". You will create an (optionally humorous) "Fill in the Blanks" style sentence.
You will need to use string operators to build a new string, **result**, using the provided variables: **myNoun**, **myAdjective**, **myVerb**, and **myAdverb**.
You will also need to use additional strings, which will not change, and must be in between all of the provided words. The output should be a complete sentence.

## Problem Explanation
We have provided a framework for testing your results with different words. The tests will run your function with several different inputs to make sure all of the provided words appear in the output, as well as your extra strings.

## Hints
### Hint 1
`+` can be used for _concatenating_ strings.
> _try to solve the problem now_
## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 2
### Hint 2
Just as you can chain strings by concatenating, you can assign them to an existing variable instead of a new one.
> _try to solve the problem now_
## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 3
### Hint 3
`+=` will allow you to use an existing variable, a string type in this case. Remember to add your own **non-letters** in between each variable.
