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

Treehouse TeacherRob there is a space between
countand++, I think that probably won't work....Rob Bridges

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,467 PointsYou were right about that one, good catch. I was able to get it to work in the code challange, but it must have transposed in copying it over. Cntl V and Cntrl C are dangerously close to space.
Thanks!
