Hi Benneth,

Create the method and try to compare the parameter tile with the letter of the hand in a for each loop. If the condition is true, you declare an increment for the counter.

Well, I don't see anything done wrong yet, but they asked for a function named getTileCount(), and it doesn't look like you've tried to add it. 

   public int getTileCount(char tile){
      int mCount = 0;
      for (int i = 0; i < mHand.length(); i++) {
         if(mHand.charAt(i) == tile){
            mCount++; 
         }
      }
      return mCount;
   }
