    it counts the lengths of words
    See the String class for methods to help you.
    Then consider where you would hold the counts for various word lengths.

    What have you tried? How would you do this by hand, or with a piece of paper and a pencil?

    Is there anything else
    No, I think the String class is the one to use.
    What methods of the String class look like they would tell you how many characters are in the String?
