Re: How do I fix this issue?
How do you fix what? Unless you tell us what your problems are we have no idea how to help.
Re: How do I fix this issue?
Step one, Download eclipse or another good ide
Step two look for errors and figure out why they are they, if your unsure specificly ask on certain code lines
Re: How do I fix this issue?
true, okay so the program has to ask you to enter a word. At the same time it randomly generates a letter. Say you enter "word" and the letter it generates is "r"...If there is 4 or less randomly gen'd letters in the word you enter it only takes away 5 points, but if you enter a word that has no secret letters in it, it takes away 10 points....my problem is, is that I cant figure out how to make it do that. If I enter the secret letter once it says "you win", but if I enter the letter multiple times it doesn't work. (what I have to do is on the PDF attached)

Re: How do I fix this issue?
I haven't read your code as it is unformatted and hard to read. In future place [ code ] before and [ /code ] after your code (without the spaces).
You need to loop over the word entered by the user and compare each char with the secret letter. If it matches increment a count. After that if count is greater than zero subtract 5 points else subtract 10 points. By the way your massive if statement generating the secret letter can be replaced with a single line. Here's a hint:
Code:
System.out.println((char)(0 + 'a'));
System.out.println((char)(25 + 'a'));

Thank you sooo much!! it works now. And its my first time programming so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks again!

Re: How do I fix this issue?
That managed to wrap code tags around it but it is still hard to read due to lack of indentation.
