Index 1 out of bounds for length 1 in splitted Array

Question

I am having an issue with my Java programm. It is telling me that my Array is out of bounds. NOTE: I splitted an array at NEW LINES then I splitted the array in a for each loop at TABULATOR SPACES. Could you please help me? *THE METHOD readAllLinesFromDict is reading from a text file.

Here is a piece of my code:

 private static String[] getWords(int minFreq){

    String words = readAllLinesFromDict();
    String [] splittedWords = words.split("\t");
    boolean check = true;
    
    StringBuilder newWords = new StringBuilder();
 

        for (String line:splittedWords) {
            String wds[] = line.split("\t");
            
            
            
            if (wds[0].length() != 5)
                continue;
            if (!wds[1].equals("NoC"))
                continue;
            if (Integer.parseInt(wds[2]) < minFreq)
                continue;
            
            for (int i = 0; i < wds[0].length(); i++) {
                if (!(Character.isLetter(wds[0].charAt(i)) || wds[0].endsWith("s")))
                    check = false;
            }
        
            if (check == true)
            newWords.append(wds[0] + ":");
            
    }
    
   
    return newWords.toString().split(":");
 
    
  }

Here is a piece of my text file (words.txt):

Answer 1

Try to replace the second line of method

String [] splittedWords = words.split("\n");
