56,414 PointsYou're missing an end curly brace in this method for the while loop (comments added):
public boolean promptForGuess() { // <-begin method
Console console = System.console();
boolean isHit = false;
boolean isValidGuess = false;
while (! isValidGuess) { // <-begin while
String guessAsString = console.readLine("Enter a letter ");
char guess = guessAsString.charAt(0);
try { // <-begin try
isHit = mGame.applyGuess(guess);
isValidGuess = true;
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) { // <-end try and begin catch
console.printf("%s. Please try again.\n", iae.getMessage());
} // <-end catch
return isHit;
} // compiler sees this as the end of the while loop but looks like it should end the method.
