# This is essentially what I am testing
1. The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).
a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.
2. The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.
a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word
3. The user is presented with the completed story

231,275 PointsHave you tried using the Preview
button to see the compiler output? Using that reveals these issues:
- line 16 of Main.java has a reference to
prompt
but it has not yet been defined - line 74 of Prompter.java has "phrase" misspelled as
phase
- line 76 has "contains" misspelled as
constains
- line 81 has "mCensoredWords" misspelled as
mCensoreds
- it looks like item 3 isn't done yet (completed story presented)
