Explanation / Answer

It won't work because you only have a single while loop that asks for user's guess until the word is complete. What will happen next? It just closes the file and terminates! What happening here is, you are just reading one word and playing one game, then exiting!

To make it work you need to enclose the current do-while loop in another outer loop which will fetch a new word from the file and play the game again.

char fileptr[SIZE];
FILE *fp;

while (!feof(fp) && fscanf(fp, "%s", fileptr) == 1) {

    ........ // Declare variables here
    char grd[SIZE];
    char wrd[SIZE];
    char guess = ' ';
    int numguess = 0;
    int isamatch = 0;
    int Same = 0;
    int result = 0;
    char Quits;
  
    do {
          ......

       if (numguess<MAXGUESSES)
       {
           .....
       }
          else if (numguess>MAXGUESSES && Same == 1) {        
              .... // break here
          }
    } while (true);
      
    ........

    // Check for termination here

    Exit(&Quits);
    if (Quits != 'N'&&Quits != 'n') {
          break;
    }

    ........
}
