Email me your code.  I am curious as to how you solved the problem without printing them in order.

You can think about what methods to use.  For this problem it is ok to only have one other method. 

I was able to do this with only two for loops, the first outer for loop controls the number of characters in the substrings, the inner loops controls the substring itself. 

begin with tracing the for loops. see which indices are needed for the single character substring and try to figure out how you can make the loops give the the indices in the correct order 

what i did was i wrote out a word and next to the single letters, i wrote down the indices i needed in order to print the single character substrings and then moved on to the 2 character substring and so on, 

you definitely will need nested for loops. 

i figured out how to get the substrings in the correct order without using methods then i implemented the methods maybe that will help

This problem is a bit tricky. My suggestion would be to take a look at the pattern of the output. Notice how it starts off with only 1 character, then 2 characters, then 3 characters, etc. to the final substring (of itself). By taking out every possible snippet of the word, you eventually get all of the substrings. However, you have to find out a way to start out with single character strings, then two character strings, and at the same time changing the position of where your string is about to be read). I used nested loops and ended up with maybe 20~ lines of code. What I really can't find out is how to implement a method in this. Could I just take create a method and use the user-inputted word as the argument, then call that method?

Yes, and that method can generate the substrings.
