Hello Jody Shackelford,

I took a look at the code and found a couple of errors that might help you out. It is tough to tell if some of the errors came from copy and pasting because the formatting is hard to follow but hopefully this will help!

First it looks like you are accidently closing the class at

public Date getCreationDate() { return mCreationDate; } }

The second closing bracket needs to be the last thing in that file/class.

Second inside of the function:

public String[] getWords() { return mDescription.toLowerCase().split("[^\w#@']+") }

You are just missing a second \ before the w. The split statement should be:

 public String[] getWords() { return mDescription.toLowerCase().split("[^\\w#@']+") }

Hope this helps!
