Scanner.next() gets the next word separated by whitespace. If the answer is a phrase it will never match the full string

i don't really know what im doing to be frank
That's not a reason to put an infinite loop. Don't do things without a reason.
Start from what you know, and extend.

if u want the user to try guessing the correct answers infinetely then yea u need an infinite loop
but it shouldnt be inside the for loop
should be outside

i gave up on my initual attempt and continued with the video for the solution that was way diffrent than what i was doing but when i typed everything to match what was in the video it still doesn't function properly
here is the new code and what happens when i run it
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main93 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] questions = new String[5];
questions[0] = "What is The_Sandwich's favorite candy on 12-2-2024??";
questions[1] = "What does The_Sandwich want for Christmas????";
questions[2] = "What is The_Sandwich's favorite snack??";
questions[3] = "Best drink in the world??";
questions[4] = "Who is referred to as a beverage of sort??";
String[] answers = new String[5];
answers[0] = "Sour Patch";
answers[1] = "Gummies";
answers[2] = "Peanuts";
answers[3] = "Water";
answers[4] = "Future Trunks";
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int points = 0;

while (true) {
printTitle();
for (int i = 0; i < questions.length; i++) {
printQuestion(questions[i]);
String userAnswer = scanner.next();
if(isCorrectAnswer(userAnswer, answers[i])) {
printYouHadCorrect();
points = increasePointTotal(points);
printCurrentPoints(points);
} else {
printYouHadIncorrect();
printTheCorrectAnswer(answers[i]);
}
}
printPointTotal(points);
printPlayAgain();
if (scanner.next().equals("Y")) {
points = 0;
continue;
} else {
break;
}
} ```

sorry for it being 3 texts but there was a limit
SIGMAS-TRIAL
What is The_Sandwich's favorite candy on 12-2-2024??
Sour Patch
That was the Incorrect answer
The correct answer was Sour Patch
What does The_Sandwich want for Christmas????
That was the Incorrect answer
The correct answer was Gummies
What is The_Sandwich's favorite snack??
Peanuts
That was the Correct Answer!
You currently have 1 Sigma Points!
Best drink in the world??
Water
That was the Correct Answer!
You currently have 2 Sigma Points!
Who is referred to as a beverage of sort??
Future Trunks
That was the Incorrect answer
The correct answer was Future Trunks
You had 2 Sigma Points!
Do you want to test you're sigma again? Y / N
Thank you very much for Testing you're Sigma!!
Process finished with exit code 0
this is how it ran when i only typed the correct answer
i don't know why it skips questions and works sometimes but not all the time
in other runs the final input of "Y" would return the code the the start of the test
