    String word [] = {"c", "a", "n", "a", "d", "a"};
    String letter;
    while (guess > word.length){
      letter = input.next();
      if (letter.substring(guess, guess + 1)==word[guess] ){
        revealed [guess] = true;
        System.out.println(word[guess]);
      }
      else
      {
        System.out.println("you lost");
      }
      }
    }
  }
  
  /* ADD YOUR CODE HERE */
  
}

i am not sure how to make the program check if the letter entered by the user matches the one in the array. also i am not sure how to make the program run again with a new word.

You're not really thinking about it properly. Even your textual description shows this. How many guesses is the user allowed, for instance?
