Issue

public class dicecalc {
    private static Scanner kb;
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        
//;-; i  need words to add in   
        
          
      int numGuess;
        

System.out.println("Enter the number the numer the dice will roll: ");
                numGuess = kb.nextInt();
                
                int dice1=(int)(Math.random()*6+1);
                int dice2=(int)(Math.random()*6+1);
                int sum = dice1 + dice2;
            
                System.out.print("Roll: total = " + sum); 
                 {
                if (sum != numGuess) {
                    System.out.println("Sorry with a " + sum + " You LOSE :(");
                  
                } else { 
                    System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!");
                }
                }
          }
      }

Solution

private static Scanner kb; is not initialized. There is no need to make this variable global, so move it inside the main() method as follows:

Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
