Thread: Need help with an output problem , java hangman

Hey guys I made a simple game where of hangman but I am running into an issue where an output of a sentence is inputted more than 2 if the word contains the same character. This is how the output looks like, I just want it to output the sentence once.

Output :
Correct letter, good job!

Correct letter, good job!
