Java Java Data Structures - Retired Organizing Data Splitting Strings

I am getting "Expected 11 words, getting 1" message. I am not able to figure out why. Can someone guide me?

I had to write method to convert input string to words.

com/example/BlogPost.java 
package com.example;

import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost {
  private String mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mBody;
  private String mCategory;
  private Date mCreationDate;

  public BlogPost(String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {
    mAuthor = author;
    mTitle = title;
    mBody = body;
    mCategory = category;
    mCreationDate = creationDate;
  }

  public String getAuthor() {
    return mAuthor;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

  public String getBody() {
    return mBody;
  }

  public String getCategory() {
    return mCategory;
  }

  public Date getCreationDate() {
    return mCreationDate;
  }

  public String[] getWords()
  {
     return  mTitle.split("\\s+");
  }
}

Try this. You need to split mBody, not mTitle:

  public String[] getWords() {
    String words[] = mBody.split("\\s+");
    return words;
  }
