Bummer! Whoops looks like you didn't censor the words (2a). mCensoredWords contains 'dork', but it made it past somehow. I ran some tests and censored words don't pass as it should be.

package com.teamtreehouse;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Prompter prompter = new Prompter();
        String story = prompter.promptForStory();
        //String story = "Thanks __name__ for helping me out.  You are really a __adjective__ __noun__ and I owe you a __noun__.";
        Template tmpl = new Template(story);
        prompter.run(tmpl);

    }

#  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

Hmm... I hadn't thought about checking the template prompt for censored words. Things look pretty good, why don't you try not displaying the word that wasn't allowed, it might be tripping up my testing.

If that is the case can you please let me know and I'll make sure to update the instructions?

Sorry for the frustration!

Hi Craig Indeed, not dispaying wrong word helped a lot, I've passed to next step. Checking template prompt for censored words was just my act of desperation, I just couldn't understand what was wrong. Thanks for help

Sigh! Sorry about that, will make sure the instructions capture that problem!
