2,849 Pointsgame.java and promppter.java could be combined?
in the hangman.java i got confused when one class uses the other class and that one uses the other class. is this the price of having everything separate? but is it possible to have for example the game.java and the prompter.java as one? i know it wont in order but is it possible?

3,230 PointsYou should consider that a class should just do one job or one responibility. For sure you could make a class called "AllinOne.class". But imagine how much methods and properties/fields you might fill in there when you create a greater project.
there are some coding guidelines which tell how you could create a nice code architecture which is good to read and manage later.
You might google for the "SOLID Principles"
One of them is the "S" of SOLID which means "Single Responsibility Principle". In other words: "A class should only do one job" If you need a different job done - create another class for it.
Hope I helped you a bit...as I said - check out that SOLID thingie
