kindly help with my java regex issue

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to learn regex for the first time in java. I am facing with the below issue:

import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class Snippet {
public static void main(String[] args) {

String S = new String("hellowordl");
System.out.println(S.matches("[a-zA-Z]"));
}
}

i want to check my string to see if all the characters are alphabet. i want to use regex to do this. kindly let me know what i am doing wrong here. the output is "false" right now.
