public void displayProgress() {
System.out.printf("You have %d tries left to solve: %s\n",
mGame.getRemainingTries,
mGame.getCurrentProgress());
}
to
public void displayProgress() {
System.out.printf("You have %d tries left to solve: %s\n",
mGame.getRemainingTries(),
mGame.getCurrentProgress());
}
i.e. add open and closing brackets for the mGame.getRemainingTries()
method.

57,712 PointsI think this might be missing a closing curly brace too:
public String getCurrentProgress() {
String progress = "";
for (char letter: mAnswer.toCharArray()) {
char display = '-';
if (mHits.indexOf(letter) >= 0) {
display = letter;
}
progress += display;
}
return progress;
