Hangman

What Is Hangman?

Hangman is the classic word-guessing game. A hidden word is shown as a row of blanks, and you guess one letter at a time. Correct letters fill in their spots; wrong letters add a piece to the drawing. Guess the whole word before the drawing is complete.

How to Play Hangman

1. Read the hint above the blanks for a clue about the hidden word.
2. Click letters on the on-screen keyboard (or type them) to guess.
3. Correct letters reveal themselves in the word; wrong letters add to the drawing and count against your 6 allowed misses.
4. Guess every letter in the word before you reach 6 wrong guesses to win.

Why Play Hangman?

• A fun way to practice vocabulary and letter-frequency intuition.
• Simple, quick rounds that work well as a short break.
• Free, unlimited words, with your best (fewest wrong guesses) score saved locally.
