Knock knock exercise

I need a hint on how to complete this exercise. In the lesson with Dennis we learned how to exclude words. In the exercise we will only accept one answer (banana). So without listing every single letter combination except for banana what tool can use to only accept banana?

Hi Craig!

Maybe you could try passing the word you want ignoring to 'equalsIgnoreCase' method and seeing how that works for you? Tell me if you have any problems!
