How do I access a method that comes from a different class? I am within the "Game" class now where getRandomPhrase() method was created and that works. addPhraseToDisplay method was created in a different class than I currently am in called "Phrase" and I keep getting an error when I try to call it in the "Game" class within the startGame function.
startGame() {
const overlay = document.getElementById("overlay");
overlay.style.display = "none";
this.getRandomPhrase();
this.addPhraseToDisplay();
}
}

To make a more explicit answer possible, can you share the whole code (perhaps as a snapshot)?
