While you could definitely solve this using an if statement, try returning the result of the expression
public class ScrabblePlayer {
// A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
private String tiles;
public ScrabblePlayer() {
tiles = "";
}
public String getTiles() {
return tiles;
}
public void addTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Add the tile to tiles
tiles +=tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
boolean tileHas=tiles.indexOf(tile)!=-1;
if(tileHas){
return tileHas;
}else {
return false;
}
}
}

33,586 PointsWhat that means is that you don't need to store your logic into a boolean named tileHas. Instead of that, you can return the expression straight away.

4,805 PointsOkay so this is what I got.
Here is my explanation for why this works.
So the boolean hasTile is going to take in a character tile as we have specified above.
Booleans hold True or False data
So when it goes to return its taking the String tiles, checking if that tile is inside or not and returning if it is not equal to -1
