I got the code to compile but I'm unable to get it to work in the same fashion as Craig did. e It should, @ this stage of the game, allow me to guess a letter, determine if it's right (by putting the letter in the correct place) or wrong, notify me as to how many attempts I have left, and if I guess (hit enter) w/out guessing a letter, it will say "No letter found". @ the moment, it repeatedly ask me to guess a letter and says I have 7 attempts each time. Even when I guess a letter that's in the word, it doesn't add it to the word, it just continues to ask me to guess a letter. I'm going to post to in the treehouse community as well

8,028 PointsI'm not positive, but I think it may be that you have spaces in places that java doesn't like them - like between a function name and the parameter list.
In Hangman.java:
Game game = new Game ("dickymeat");
should be
Game game = new Game("dickymeat");
In Game.java:
throw new IllegalArgumentException ("A letter is required");
should be (line 15)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("A letter is required");
line 25:
throw new IllegalArgumentException (letter + " has already been guessed");
should be
throw new IllegalArgumentException(letter + " has already been guessed");
lines 30-31:
public boolean applyGuess (char letter){
letter = validateGuess (letter);
should be
public boolean applyGuess(char letter){
letter = validateGuess(letter);
In Prompter.java:
public Prompter (Game game){
should be
public Prompter(Game game){

1,082 PointsThanks a lot for that tip Ester. It's still having the same issue. I'll probably continue through the Java module and come back to it and address the issue when I've finished
