  // A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
  private String tiles;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    tiles = "";

  public String getTiles() {
    return tiles;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Add the tile to tiles
    tiles+=tile;

  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
boolean isLetter=tiles.indexOf(tile) !=-1;
 if(isLetter){

The "else" is missing an open brace between it and the code block and causing a syntax error.

But the challenge doesn't want you to use an "if" anyway. All you need to do is directly return the result of the conditional statement you would use in the "if".
