Trying to have my method parse multiple words in a sentence but it only parses the first word.

It seems my split isn't taking all words, only the first. How might I be able to make the split get all the words. I have looked up other answers to splitting strings but they don't seem to be working.
public static int parseSentence(String input){
int startPoint = 0;
String badList = " .";
String words = input.split("\s+");
System.out.println(words[1]);
for(int x = 0; x < words.length;x++){
parseWord(words[x]);
}
return points;
}

can you check how many elements does the words have?

How do you know that only the first word is used? I hope not viaSystem.out.println(words[1]);because that only prints one word and it would be the second. Besides that, your code look incomplete, e.g.pointsisn't defined and neitherbadListnor the result ofparseWordis being used.

This means your input consists of a single word. Please report this input.

BTW, ifwords.lengthequals 1, you should get an Exception when printingwords[1]
