Hi Shreekrishna,

The challenge requirement is to count the number of tiles in the player's hand (mHand) that match a specific tile. The getTileCount method will require an argument similar to the addTile and hasTile methods. For example,

public int getTileCount(char tile) {
  int count = 0;
  for (char letter : mHand.toCharArray()) {
    //Compare if tile equal to letter
      //If true, increment count
  }
  return count;
}

I posted a fairly detailed explanation of the solution to this challenge and what they're actually asking for a while back. Take a look and see if it helps (hope it does)! https://teamtreehouse.com/community/help-to-solve-code-challenge-also-please-explain-the-logic-and-thanks-in-advance
