public class Hangman {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Enter amazing code here:
        Game game = new Game("treehouse");
        Prompter prompter = new Prompter(game);
        boolean isHit = prompter.promptForGuess();
        if (isHit) {
         System.out.println("We got a hit!"); 
        } else {
         System.out.println("Whoops that was a miss"); 
        }
    }

}

Sebastian;

In your prompter.java your method name is promtForGuess. That is where the typo is.

You mistyped the "promptForGuess" method in the Prompter class.
