So I know it's something to do with the getLetterGuess method and the usedLetter[] array in the for loop. I have no idea how to get it working. Is it where I'm placing the
usedLetter[x] = letter;?
The project is due tomorrow and I'd really like some help on this final part...
(P.S.) I'm going to polish up the code before handing it in.. fixing the whitespace, taking out the unnecessary variables, etc...
Thank you!
