Hi,

the thing is that mHand is private and you need to access it using getHand method. And the comparison is between letter and title.

  public int getTileCount(char tile) {
    int counter = 0;
    for (char letter: getHand().toCharArray()) {
      if (letter == tile) {
        counter++;
      }
    }
    return counter;
  }

Hope this help.
