16,639 PointsTo determine if the user already has a tile you should use the indexOf method on the String tiles. The indexOf method returns the index of the string where the character resides.
For more information: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#indexOf(java.lang.String)
return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
