28,449 PointsHmm if your problem is with the challenge, you don't need the getTileCount method. Remove it and try again. I copied these two lines of code into my challenge and it worked just fine:
mHand += tile;
and
return mHand.indexOf(tile) >-1;

7,036 PointsI noticed that your constructor doesn't actually initialize the mHand variable? This would throw some of the other methods off as they try to iterate through an empty String. Try:
public ScrabblePlayer(String hand) {
mHand = hand;
}
Hopefully that helps :)
