Hi Minjun,

Small error in your code:

public void play() {
    while (mGame.getRemainingTries>0) {
      displayProgress();
      promptForGuess();
    }
  }

Should be: 

public void play() {
    while (mGame.getRemainingTries()>0) {
      displayProgress();
      promptForGuess();
    }
  }

You forgot the () to call the getRemainingTries() method.

I hope this helps.
