Why am I still getting "Whoops looks like you didnt catch dork"

1) I am searching not only the answers but the new story for the censored words list and in my testing dork doesnt make it through. I dont understand what else its looking for? 2) I also dont understand how to automatically code in the blank so that the code catches it. right now i just type the 2 underscores on each side of the blank in the new story.

        Prompter prompter = new Prompter();
        String story = prompter.promptForStory();
        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

modified promptForWord to the below and it still doesnt catch it. but i cant get Dork through no matter case or if i type "isnt a dork" anything. really confused on why this is sticking here.

 public String promptForWord(String phrase) throws IOException {
        String result = "";
        do {
           System.out.printf("Enter value for %s%n", phrase);
          result = mReader.readLine();
            for (String censoredWord : mCensoredWords) {
                if (result.toLowerCase().contains(censoredWord)) {
                    System.out.printf("%s is an invalid word. Please try again.%n", result);
                    result = "";
                    }
            }
        } while (result.equals(""));
        return result;
    }

Even tried specifically grabbing dork and it still makes it through..

 public String promptForWord(String phrase) throws IOException {
        String result = "";
        do {
           System.out.printf("Enter value for %s%n", phrase);
          result = mReader.readLine();
            for (String censoredWord : mCensoredWords) {
                if (result.toLowerCase().contains(censoredWord) || result.toLowerCase().contains("dork")) {
                    System.out.printf("%s is an invalid word. Please try again.%n", result);
                    result = "";
                    }
            }
        } while (result.equals(""));
        return result;
    }

When clicking preview i get this test:

Enter your story: Enter value for first prompt Enter value for second prompt dork is an invalid word. Please try again. Enter value for second prompt dweeb is an invalid word. Please try again. Enter value for second prompt Your TreeStory Testing PASS_1 and then PASS_2

Which would indicate its working as coded. so why do i continue to get Bummer! dork made it through?

Figured it out. I was repeating the word ie Dork is an invalid word. Please try again. once i took that piece out i was able to complete the challenge.
