Hello stuck on question 3 of 3, can you tell me which video i need to go back and study to get the answer?

I'm not sure if i'm close with this one, but enjoying the challange

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean validWord;
do {
  response = console.readLine(("Do you understand do while loops?"));
  isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"));
  if (validWord){
  console.printf("Because you said yes, you passed the test!");
boolean validWord;
do {
  response = console.readLine(("Do you understand do while loops?"));
  isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
  if (isInvalidWord){
  console.printf("Please try again");
  }
} while (isInvalidWord);

Hi, try the video that is right before this exercise. Hint: for what I see on the screenshot, this is too complex when actually the answer is much simple.
