Question

Create a simple guessing game, similar to Hangman, in which the user guesses letters and then attempts to guess a partially hidden phrase. Display a phrase randomly from a list of 10 non displayed phrases in which some of the letters are replaced by asterisks; for example, "G* T***" (for "Go Team"). Each time the user guesses a letter, either place the letter in the correct spot (or spots) in the phrase and display it again, or tell the user the guessed letter is not in the phrase, letter should be replaced regardless of letter case. Display a congratulagory message when the entire correct phrase has been deduced. Class should be SecretPhrase and program should be in java. If someone could help me that would be great!

The 10 phrases should be:

Java is fun, Life is good, Summer Break, Fast Car, Dangerous, Peace on Earth, Monster, Everyones favorite movie, Love, Twice the fun.
