I watch the video again and still have no idea what I am supposed to do.

What is the exercise about. Am I adding a string or Char? Where am I to get the info that I need to do it?

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
    private String mHand;

    public ScrabblePlayer() {
        mHand = "";
    }

    public String getHand() {
       return mHand;
    }

    public void addTile(char tile) {
        // Adds the tile to the hand of the player

    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
       return false;
    }
}

I think you should just add character to String

    mHand = mHand + tile;

Thank you, But there has got to be a better means of conveying what must be done in the exercises by the instructor. It seems to be written for those who know how to program already not those who are learning to program.
