error: cannot find symbol

Having issues with this module when using the repl - files compile fine and when I compare my code with others here I can't seem to find what I'm doing wrong (if anything). I've done :load Game.java and still get the error.

ERROR: cannot find symbol
symbol: method applyGuess(char)
location: class Evaluation
applyGuess('t');;

Here is my code. 

public class Game {
  private String mAnswer;
  private String mHits;
  private String mMisses;

  public Game(String answer) {
   mAnswer = answer; 
   mHits = "";
   mMisses = "";
  }

  public boolean applyGuess(char letter) {
    boolean isHit = mAnswer.indexOf(letter) >= 0;
    if (isHit) {
      mHits += letter;
    } else {
      mMisses += letter;
    }
    return isHit;
  }
}
