Jumble Game I am working on If/Else Statement Problems

Magikarp3 (4)
I am working on a basic game. I have it so there can be a level select. It asks for a number (level number) For example: you quit on level two. You restart the program. You type 2 on the select puzzle part and it brings you to level two in this case potato. Instead what it does is bring me straight to WRONG! ABORT PROGRAM! If you need more detail just let me know. Otherwise potential fix would be much appreciated. Thanks, Cheers, Adios!

You have a brace after the YourAnswer input, so that ends that If statement. It then goes to

if (YourAnswer=="bathtub"){
	cout<< endl;
	cout<< "You are correct!";
	cout<< endl;}
		
	else {
	cout<<	"WRONG! Program Abort!";
	return 0;
	}


Since they haven't answered "bathtub", it'll go to the Else, which is the "WRONG.." message.

I got rid of of the braces after YourAnswer. Now it can access one and two. Not three and four...

You still need the opening brace after the If statements. I just formatted the code a little bit to match up the opening and closing braces. I think you're missing one at the end as well.
