Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're getting close here but they do not want you using an if statement here. Take a look at the bummer message:
Bummer! While you could definitely solve this using an if statement, try returning the result of the expression.
Try doing the evaluation in the return statement. Hint: this step of the challenge will only require one line of code. Good luck, but let me know if you're still stuck!

Treehouse TeacherYes, that will pass the challenge. Although, I would point out that you do not need an extra variable. You can return the evaluation of the expression more directly.
return tiles.indexOf(tile)!=-1;Hope this helps!
