class Game{
private String answer;
private String hits;
private String misses;
public Game(String answer) {
this.answer = answer;
hits = "";
misses = "";
}
public boolean applyGuess(char letter) {
boolean isHit = answer.indexOf(letter) != -1;
if (isHit) {
hits += letter;
}else {
misses += letter;
}
return isHit;
}
}
