returning variable when calling "Main" method...

I´m trying to return a variable i++ when i call the method Main to restart the game 
how you can see in my code i++ is a counter for the array secretWord and array tip...
 so every time the main mettod is  called i try to pass the i++ counter so then i
 have a new secretWorld and a new tip. but it is not possible, i just can return a 
string... there is a diferent way to restart the code "game" passing the counter i++?
please Help...

Hey try this.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
GuessGame();
Console.Read();
}
private static void GuessGame()
{
string[] secretWord = { "beer", "cat", "pizza", "amazon", "brasilia" };
string[] tip = { "Famous Drink", "Most Beloved Pet", "Most noum food in the world", "Famous web site with forest name", "Car with a name of a cauntry capital" };
string guess = "";
int trials = 1;
string tryAgain = "";
int i = 0;
while (guess != secretWord[i] && i < tip.Count())
{
Console.WriteLine("Guess the secret word!!! " + tip[i]);
guess = Console.ReadLine();
if(guess != secretWord[i])
{
trials++;
Console.WriteLine("Wrong guess.");
}
else
Console.WriteLine("Right guess.");
if (trials > 3)
{
Console.WriteLine("You lose!");
Console.WriteLine("try again? y/n");
tryAgain = Console.ReadLine();
if (tryAgain == "y")
{
GuessGame();
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("game over!!!");
Console.ReadKey();
Environment.Exit(0);
}
}
i++;
if (i >= tip.Count())
{
Console.Write("You guessed the secret word!!! Do you want to try again?");
tryAgain = Console.ReadLine();
if (tryAgain == "y")
{
GuessGame();
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Game Over!");
Console.ReadKey();
Environment.Exit(0);
}
}
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
