Java Web Development Techdegree Student 1,920 PointsInteliij says it's fine. What could be possibly be wrong now ?
It runs fine on inteliij. I even went as far as identifying words that even contain the censored word but still on passing it in, some sort of funny version of the word 'dork' keeps getting pass. I've tried everything :'(

# 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

71,830 PointsI copied your Main and Prompter classes into my IDE, with package com.teamtreehouse; commented out, added their Template class (which I downloaded from the Project files), and compiled and ran them. They ran fine. Exactly as expected. Further, I tested them with dork as a noun, and your program rejected it. There must be something wrong with their testing!
For the record, my code, which compiles and runs fine but is a bit different than yours, also was rejected by the editor. It turns out that what I had to do to get the editor to accept it was to delete the following comments from the top of the panels for Main and Prompter:
// After you've completed the TODOs locally paste Main.java here
// After you've completed the TODOs locally paste Prompter.java here
So I tried your code in the challenge to see if the same trick would work for you, but alas, I still get the dork error message you get.
The only reason I go into this is that I am really aware of the frustration you probably went through trying to figure out what the editor wants, as I spent way too much time doing the same thing. I know this isn't much help, but I share your pain!
Here's my Main class:
//package com.teamtreehouse;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// write your code here
Prompter prompter = new Prompter();
prompter.run(prompter.promptForTemplate());
}
}
and my Prompter class:
//package com.teamtreehouse;
