Question

I need to check the array to see if the user input is already present, and display a message as to whether it is or isn\'t there. The first part is working, but I tried to creat

You're going to have to loop through the entire array and check if scan.next() equals any of them - if so return true - as such:

String toCheck = scan.next();
for (String string : i) { //For each String (string) in i
    if (toCheck.equals(i)) {
        System.out.println("The word has been found");
        return;
    }
}
System.out.println("The word has not been found");

This supposes you call WordCheck(), passing the array to it - this method also has to be static for you to call it from the main() method.
