Getting 5 errors? symbol: method getCurrentProgress()

I'm currently getting five errors on my code for current progress, and I've done everything exactly like the video and I don't know what is going on when I run the code?

symbol: method getCurrentProgress()
location: variable mGame of type Game
5 errors 

import java.io.Console;

public class Prompter {
  private Game mGame;

  public Prompter (Game game) {
   mGame = game;
  }

  public boolean promptForGuess() {
   Console console = System.console(); 
    String guessAsString = console.readLine("Enter a letter: ");
    char guess = guessAsString.charAt(0);
    return mGame.applyGuess(guess);
  }

  public void displayProgress() {
   System.out.printf("Try to solve: %s\n", mGame.getCurrentProgress());
  }



}

I don't know how far in the course you are but your code should look like this for the Prompter class...excluding the play() method, I left that out because again I don't know haw far you are in the course.

import java.io.Console;

public class Prompter {
  private Game mGame;

  public Prompter(Game game)
  {
    mGame = game;
  }

  public boolean promptForGuess()
  {
    Console console = System.console();
    boolean isHit = false;
    boolean isValidGuess = false;
    while (!isValidGuess)
    {
      String guessAsString = console.readLine("Enter a letter: ");

      try {
           isHit = mGame.applyGuess(guessAsString); 
           isValidGuess = true;
          } 
      catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) 
      { 
           console.printf("%s. Please try again.\n", iae.getMessage());
      }                         
    }

    return isHit;
}

public void displayProgress()
  {
    System.out.printf("You have %d tries left to solve: %s\n.", 
                      mGame.getRemainingTries(),
                      mGame.getCurrentProgress());
  }

  }
