So back to that ScrabblePlayer. I found that it's not enough to know if they just have a tile of a specific character. W

Hi Can someone help me with this.

I know I am on the right track but now entirely sure how to fix this.

thanks

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
    mHand += tile;
  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
   return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
  }

  public String getTileCount() {
    int counter = 0;
    for (char tile: mHand.toCharArray()) {
      if(mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0) {
        counter++;
    }

  }
     return counter;
}

Since you are returning "counter" and "counter" is an int variable, you want to make sure your function is an int function. Also, make sure that you pass in a char. public int getTileCount( char tTile) { Then in your if statement, compare the tTile you passed in with tile in your for loop. if(tile == tTile)
