[SOLVED] Still got error - cannot find symbol for game.applyGuess('t);

Here is the code 

public class Game {
  private String mAnswer;
  private String mHits;
  private String mMisses;

  public Game(String answer) {
    mAnswer = answer;
    mHits = "";
    mMisses = "";
  }

  public boolean applyGess(char letter) {
    boolean isHit = mAnswer.indexOf(letter) >= 0;
    if (isHit) {
      mHits += letter;
    } else {
      mMisses += letter;
    }
    return isHit;
  }
}

Here is console

Please ignore, I made a type in declaring 

public boolean applyGuess
  • I have typed it
public boolean applyGess

without 'u' letter
