I get a message saying: "DId you forget to create the method getTileCount that accepts a char", what does it mean?

I don't understand that message because I have created the method already.

ScrabblePlayer.java
public class ScrabblePlayer {
   public int counter;
    public int count;
  private String mHand;

  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() {

    for (char letter: getHand().toCharArray()){
      if (hasTile(letter)) {
      counter =1;
      } else {
      count += counter;
      }
    } return count;
  }
}

I have not done this one yet, but from what I see, you need to change

public int getTileCount()

to

public int getTileCount(char letter)
