Without seing all the code all I can do is offer a suggestion that Treehouse suggested in the past:
public boolean isSolved() {
    return getCurrentProgress().indexOf('-') == -1;
  }
  public void play() {
    while (mGame.getRemainingTries() > 0 && !mGame.isSolved())  {
      displayProgress();
      promptForGuess();
    }
    if (mGame.isSolved()) {
      System.out.printf("YAAAY, You won!!");
    } else {
      System.out.printf("You LOST :-(.
 The answer was: %s", mGame.getAnswer());
    }
  }
