  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
   return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
  }
  public int getTileCount(char theTile) {
    int count = 0;

Jeremy Hill is right. Keep in mind that the error messages it gives you (via preview on the challenge) are often pretty good clues about what and where the glitch is., and you can often google the phrase in question. "reached end of file while parsing" is usually going to mean a missing }.

You just need to add a closing curly brace to the end of your getTileCount method: '}'

The last one at the end of your code is for the class, you need one for the end of your method.

Here is what Jeremy was telling you to do. Whenever I have a lot of code, I will mark the closing curly braces so I know which ones are for the class and method.

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 int getTileCount(char theTile) {
    int count = 0;
    for(char tile: mHand.toCharArray()) {
      if(tile == theTile) {
        count++;
      }
    }
        return count;
  }//end of getTileCount()

} //end of class
