Hangman Input

I want to throw an exception when the user enters in more than one character. I can't seem to find out how to accomplish this. Can anyone help me with this bug/feature? Thank you :)

I found the easiest way to do this is to add an additional if statement to your applyGuess method:

if  (letters.length() > 1) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Only enter 1 letter at a time");
}
