Thread: Please help with this code.....

I dont understand whats wrong with my code. I have created a word guess game where on the menu the user has to select an option so a letter is generated in the word a bit like hangman but it does not appear to select a random letter everytime...Im a beginner to Java, any help would really be appreciated. It also does not appear to display the message : You lost. no attempts left...

import java.util.Random;
public class Game {
 
    private Word w;
    private int attempts;
 
    Game(){
        startGame();
    }
 
    private void startGame(){
        Database db = new Database();
        w = new Word (db.getRandomWord());
        attempts = 10;
    }
 
    private int showDisplayOptions(){
        int input = 3;
        System.out.println("Your Options:");
        System.out.println("Guess another letter      1");
        System.out.println("Guess the word            2");
        System.out.println("Give up                   3");
        System.out.println();
 
        boolean validInput =false;
 
        while(!validInput){
 
            System.out.print("Enter your choice:  ");
            InputReader in = new InputReader();
            input = in.getInt();
 
            if (!(input==1 || input==2 || input==3)) {
                validInput=false;
                System.out.println("Invalid, Please enter options 1-3");
            }
            else
                validInput=true;
 
        }    
 
        return input;
    }
 
    public void run(){
 
        boolean exit = false;
 
        while (!exit){
            if (attempts<1) {
                System.out.println("You lost. No attempts left");
                startGame();
            }
 
            System.out.println("You know:                ");
            System.out.println(w.toString());
            System.out.println("You have "+attempts+" attempts left");
            System.out.println();
 
            switch (showDisplayOptions()) {
            case 1:chooseLetter();
                break;
            case 2:chooseWord();
                break;
            case 3: exit = true;
                break;
            default:exit = true;
                break;
            }
        }
 
    }
 
    private void chooseLetter() {
        boolean chosen=false;
        Random genericGenerator = new Random();
        char letter = (char) (genericGenerator.nextInt(26)+65);
