I have been trying to make a Hangman game however i have come across some trouble when it comes to making the game change the level to show the next word. I am currently trying to implement a Boolean statement that when all the letters have been pressed and set to true the game changes level to start the next word however when i check the game it says that all letters are true in the boolean statement yet nothing happens. This is my code can anyone help me out. 
public static boolean W = false;
public static boolean R = false;
public  boolean E = false;
public static  boolean N = false;
public static boolean C = false;
public static boolean H = false;
    /**
     * Constructor for objects of class Prision.
     * 
     */
    public Prison()
    {    
        // Create a new world with 600x400 cells with a cell size of 1x1 pixels.
     
        GreenfootImage background = getBackground();
            background.drawString("Plumbers use this to fix toilets.", 20, 580);// this is the description for the word
         addObject(new W(), 200, 150);// this spawns in all of the letters
        addObject(new R(), 200, 190);
         addObject(new E(), 200, 230);
          addObject(new N(), 200, 270);
           addObject(new C(), 200, 310);
            addObject(new H(), 200, 350);
            addObject(new A(), 200, 390);
              addObject(new B(), 200, 430);
                addObject(new D(), 200, 470);
                  addObject(new F(), 260, 160);
                    addObject(new G(), 260, 200);
                      addObject(new I(), 260, 240);
                        addObject(new J(), 260, 280);
                          addObject(new K(), 260, 320);
                            addObject(new L(), 260, 360);
                              addObject(new M(), 260, 400);
                                addObject(new N(), 260, 440);
                                  addObject(new O(), 310, 150);
                                    addObject(new P(), 310, 190);
                                      addObject(new Q(), 310, 230);
                                        addObject(new S(), 310, 270);

Do you call the method 'change' somewhere? Either you have to call it after all 'set' methods, or you name it 'act', then it will be executed every time. Since your booleans are static (why?), you should set them to 'false' in the constructor and not outside methods. Else, they will be true, when you reset the game after they were true. By the way: 
//instead of this:
if ( W== true && R == true && E == true && N == true && C == true && H == true )
//you can also just write this:
if (W && R && E && N && C && H)
Do you want to create a new world for every word? This will be much work I guess.

You need to show the related code where you are calling these 'set' methods.
