Error: cannot find symbol Prompter

Below is my code.

public class Hangman {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Enter amazing code here:
Game game = new Game("treehouse");
Prompter prompter = new Prompter(game);
boolean isHit = prompter.promptForGuess();
if (isHit) {
  System.out.println("We got a hit!");
} else {
  System.out.println("Whoops that was a miss");
}

}

}

I get the following error when trying to compile:

Hangman.java:6: error: cannot find symb
Prompter prompter = new Prompter(ga
^
symbol: class Prompter
location: class Hangman
Hangman.java:6: error: cannot find symb
Prompter prompter = new Prompter(ga

Robert,

Try making sure you have import java.io.Console; written in the first line of your Prompter.java file. That should fix the problem.
