Hangman
Guess the hidden word one letter at a time. Every wrong letter draws the next part of the hanging figure. Solve the word before the figure is complete (6 misses) to win. Each word has a category hint.
Hangman is the timeless letter-guessing word game, reborn for the browser. A hidden word waits behind a row of blanks, and each wrong letter draws one more piece of the doomed stick figure. There's a small thrill of tension every time you commit to a letter with the drawing already half-finished.
How to play
Guess the hidden word one letter at a time by tapping the on-screen A–Z keyboard or typing on your real keyboard. Correct letters fill their blanks, while every miss adds another part to the figure. Solve the word before six wrong guesses complete the drawing, and use the category hint to narrow down what you're looking for.
Tips
- Open with common vowels like E, A, and O, then the frequent consonants R, S, T, and N.
- Read the category hint first — it dramatically shrinks the pool of likely words.
- Watch letter patterns as blanks fill; common endings like "-ING" or "-TION" often reveal themselves.
- Save risky, uncommon letters until you have enough of the word to guess it outright.
