Hi fellows

please, can someone here tell me what’s wrong with my code? it doesn’t work for me even if it seems to me logic.

function translatePigLatin(str) {
  if(str[0] == "a" | str[0] == "e" | str[0] == "y" | str[0] == "u" | str[0] == "i" | str[0] == "o"){
    return str.concat("way")
  } else{
    return str.replace(str[0], "").concat(str[0] + "ay")
  }
  //return str;
}

translatePigLatin("consonant");

You are just checking the first letter
glove becomes lovegay
Instead you should move the consonant cluster (any number of consonants) from the beginning to the end glove -> oveglay

Also, for the purposes of this exercise, ‘y’ is considered not a vowel. So, in addition to having words with no starting consonant (eater), you have one (beater) or two (cheater) or more (schemer) or none at all (hymn).
