This one was frustrating for a while because I didn't know which byte values are letters, and Google was utterly useless (searched for an hour). So if you're stuck with that part, you can first create a txt file that contains a-z and A-Z (no spaces, all one line, very important), then have the program read that file and print all the byte values. That will give a range of values which then you can use writing the code for the task to check the read values against. It worked for me and I passed validation this way.

A clever solution!
But maybe it will help you in the future, i like them:
ASCII codes in a table: https://theasciicode.com.ar/

I think use BufferRider and ASCII values it's the simplest and fastes way to do it

Character.isLetter(currentChar) can also do the job :)

'You need to count ONLY the letters of the English Alphabet in the file (both Upper and Lower case) ignoring any ascii values denoting non-letter elements'
Hope that's helpful to anyone.
