please help me with this

Well, looking at your code WORD is part of the fields enum, shouldn't this be THE_WORD? - your trying to read the length of something that isn't a string amongst other things.

Lastly, askGuess is meant to return a char, yet I see that you don't do that - there may be other issues as I've not had a chance to load it up in my compiler.
