addTile - you need to convert the char to a string first. Can you just pass in the letter as a string of length 1 instead? If not just convert the char first then concatenate.

hasTile - there are methods available that help you do this with strings.

I'll leave it to you to do the googling for the exact answer, that's how you learn the language :) also don't forget to check the java API documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/overview-summary.html
