}
}

player2.addTile('u');
player2.addTile('z');
int count = 0;
// This would set count to 1 because player1 has 1 'p' tile in her collection of tiles
count = player1.getCountOfLetter('p');
// This would set count to 2 because player1 has 2 'd'' tiles in her collection of tiles
count = player1.getCountOfLetter('d');
// This would set 0, because there isn't an 'a' tile in player1's tiles
count = player1.getCountOfLetter('a');
// This will return 3 because player2 has 3 'z' tiles in his collection of tiles
count = player2.getCountOfLetter('z');
// This will return 1 because player2 has 1 'f' tiles in his collection of tiles
count = player2.getCountOfLetter('f');
}

3,757 Points public int getCountOfLetter(char letter) {
int counter = 0;
for ( int x: tiles.toCharArray() ) {
if( x == letter) {
counter++;
}
}
return counter;
}
Here it is how i did , so the x is a variable that stores the char from tiles . You did it almost good just instead of tiles.charAt(counter) put let .
