Treehouse TeacherOk I*m not sure where you're getting the "word" thing from, but I will post the code I used to pass the challenge and then go through it.
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);
String intAsString = String.valueOf(randomNumber);
First, we create a new instance of a Random and assign it to a variable named randomGenerator Secondly, we create a new integer variable named randomNumber and use our randomGenerator along with the .nextInt method to return an integer between 0 and 9 and store it there. Thirdly, we take that integer and run it through the String.valueOf method to turn our integer into a string and store it in a new string variable named intAsString
Hope this clears things up!
