Since you only need to return the if statement, you can make it return the indexOf(tile) witch will return a true or false.

So if u read your code like this im sure you will get on with ur assignemts :)

public class ScrabblePlayer {
  // A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
  private String tiles;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    tiles = "";
  }

  public String getTiles() {
    return tiles;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Add the tile to tiles
        tiles += tile;
  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
    return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
  }

}

Best luck in you journey on Treehouse

Thank you so much for the help. I forgot to see that the method was a boolean.
