Wrong feedback in the compiler

This code runs perfectly and should return the correct number of characters in the string. But the compiler feedback is not correct.

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
  private String mHand;
  private int Counter;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    mHand = "";
  }

  public String getHand() {
   return mHand;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // Adds the tile to the hand of the player
    mHand += tile;
  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
   return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
  }
  public int getTileCount(char Chaar){

     for(char letter : mHand.toCharArray()) {
        if(letter == Chaar){
           Counter++;
        }
     }
    return Counter;
  }
}

It appears it is checking for proper capitalization. This is the code from a previous answer.

public int getTileCount(char t){
    int count = 0; 
    for (char tile : mHand.toCharArray()){
      if (tile == t) {
         count++;
       }
    }
    return count;
  }
