Issues with isHIt boolean.

I'm getting two errors with this boolean: cannot find symbol and illegal start of type. I've tracked this boolean throughout all three files and cannot figure out why it is giving me problems. My braces line up and there are no typos as far as I can tell. If someone could help me out that would be great.

Also, in the applyGuess boolean in the game file, is it the return isHit that makes the applyGuess boolean true or false?

Hi Kyle,

You have a typo in class Hangman on line 8. The letter 'i' should be lower case. Change isHIt to isHit and you should be fine.

Hi Kyle,

It would help if you can post your code.
