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
- Read the hint above the blanks for a clue about the hidden word.
- Click letters on the on-screen keyboard (or type them) to guess.
- Correct letters reveal themselves in the word; wrong letters add to the drawing and count against your 6 allowed misses.
- 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.
