It means to take what words are there, and use the right ones to make a valid Java statement (Hint: use 4 words)

ive tried public class Fly = null I keep getting a 'illegal start of expression' error

Neither 'public' nor 'class' were any of the 4 words we mentioned. Also, I do not believe 'fly' is supposed to be capitalized.

Actor name fly=null

Almost there! Remember that one of the words was 'is' (for the equal sign); so, you have one two many words.

name fly=null

Last chance, name was not one of the words!

Actor fly=null

Put a semi-colon at the end and see if it compiles.
