My code works but the code challenge keeps saying that I forgot to remove the TODO's

I've scanned the community forums for any help but nothing's really working. If anyone can give me an idea why my code isn't working, that would be great thanks.

com/teamtreehouse/Main.java
// After you've completed the TODOs locally paste Main.java here
package com.teamtreehouse;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // write your code here
        Prompter prompter = new Prompter();
        prompter.run();

    }
}
com/teamtreehouse/Prompter.java

#  This is essentially what I am testing 
1.  The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).

  a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.

2.  The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.

   a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
      User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word

3.  The user is presented with the completed story

Ah, yes. The checker will look for any comments with the word "TODO" in them. This includes the first lines already in the editor tabs. Remove them and it should pass.
