Letter guessing game segfault?

[LetoMultus]

Hello, I am very new to programming and am having an issue with this letter guessing game. I believe the error is a segmentation fault but haven't been able to find the root problem.

I know that the program executes perfectly the first time the function GuessTheLetter is called but then when my return statement at the end of that function runs my program seems to return to the function GuessTheLetter at which point it will execute again but with an unknown value for letter.

I don't understand why it is returning to the function call instead of the start of the for loop

(the program is formatted better in the attachement)

//this function is called from inside the GuessTheLetter( ) function described above

Well the first obvious thing to check is that the file was opened successfully.

    LtrLst = fopen("letterList.txt", "r");
    if ( LtrLst != NULL ) {
        // all your existing code goes here
    } else {
        printf("Failed to open the file\n");
    }

Tested as you suggested. it is opening and reading the file

In main you may need a space before the %c in the fscanf format.

You should remove the "return 0" statements from the void functions (void functions don't return anything).

I had found those errors just before seeing this actually but it still wont run properly. Thank you for looking so closely at the code.
