Hi im not sure if I can ask for help here, my appolagise if not I will remove if required to.

I am stuck however with a hangman style game I am building, Simply a word pulls from file at random and the output to the user is '*' symbols instead of the letters, the user can select to guess a letter from the keyboard etc... The program does cross ref the guess with the actual word and if the user guesses correctly it will replace the '*' with the correct letter, the issue is it will only do one loop so wont allow for continuation until the word is complete. I would appreciate any help with this so that the user keeps going until the word is completed. Many Thanks. Here is the code:

private void chckGss_Func(string wordToGuess)
{
StringBuilder showUser = new StringBuilder(fileWord.Length);
for (int i = 0; i < fileWord.Length; i++)
showUser.Append('*');

List<char> goodGuess = new List<char>();
List<char> badGuess = new List<char>();
int lives = 5;
bool win = false;
int charReveal = 0;
string inpt;
char guess;

while (!win && lives > 0)
{
inpt = tmpLttr.ToUpper();
guess = inpt[0];

if (goodGuess.Contains(guess))
{
btnCorrect.Visible = true;
lblCorrect.Visible = true;
continue;
}

else if (badGuess.Contains(guess))
{
btnWrong.Visible = true;
lblWrong.Visible = true;
continue;
}

if (wrd2GuessUpper.Contains(guess))
{
goodGuess.Add(guess);

for (int i = 0; i < fileWord.Length; i++)
{
if (wrd2GuessUpper[i] == guess)
{
showUser[i] = fileWord[i];
charReveal++;
}
}

if (charReveal == fileWord.Length)
win = true;

}
else
{
badGuess.Add(guess);
lives--;
return;
}

txtWrdToGuess.AppendText(showUser.ToString());
}

if (win)
MessageBox.Show("You win!");
else
MessageBox.Show("You lose, the word was " + fileWord);
}
