Courses Plus Student 9,193 PointsAs Phillip said, you need an else statement, or you can just add "return false;" after the whole "if" code. The reason why, is because the method checks if there is a tile, if there is, it returns a true, but if it doesn't find a tile, the code just ends without a return. That's why you get an error, boolean methods always need to return either true or false.

Courses Plus Student 285 PointsDo you want to return false if the tile is not found? (So you'd need an else.)
If there's more, please specify.
