Hangman

Frequently asked questions

What is Hangman?

Hangman is a classic word-guessing game. A word is hidden and you guess it one letter at a time. Correct letters are revealed; each wrong letter adds a part to the drawing.

How many wrong guesses do I get?

You get six wrong guesses. Each one draws another part of the figure - head, body, two arms and two legs. Reveal the whole word before the figure is complete to win.

How do I guess a letter?

Tap a letter on the on-screen keyboard or press it on your own keyboard. Letters you have already tried are greyed out so you do not waste a guess.

Can I choose the kind of words?

Yes. Pick a category - Animals, Food, Countries or Mixed - to set the type of word, then hit New word for a fresh round at any time.
