Why does this code return true for mutation challenge

JavaScript
1

For some reason this code returns true for [“hello”, “hey”] but it passes every other test and I don’t understand why

  **Your code so far**


function mutation(arr) {
let pre = arr[0].toLowerCase().split("");
//console.log(pre);
let post = arr[1].toLowerCase().split("");
//console.log(post);
if (pre.includes(...post)) {
  return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

mutation(["hello", "hey"]);

includes() does not work that way:

You can’t use multiple arguments like that.

thanks for the reply, I’ll try to figure something else out! Though I would still like to know why it passed every other test case except for the one I pointed out

Random chance. It just so happened that for many of the test cases the first character is the one that is the most important.
