8,108 PointsGot Bummer after I solve the TODOs
Bummer: Did you prompt the user for the story (1)? I didn't see the first double underscored word prompted (2).
What's wrong?

# This is essentially what I am testing
1. The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).
a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.
2. The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.
a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word
3. The user is presented with the completed story

231,184 PointsIt looks like you have a bit of work yet to do. These particular hints refer to the job that should be done by the "promptForWord" method, which currently has only "return phrase;
" for the code. But the instructions for that method were:
// TODO:csd - Prompt the user for the response to the phrase, make sure the word is censored, loop until you get a good response.
You might start by implementing that method to do the job described, then revisit the other "TODO" comments to be sure their implementation is complete also.
And before re-submitting the challenge, you might try running the program and confirming that it works.
