How to Play Hangman
Hangman is a classic word guessing game. A word is hidden and you guess one letter at a time. Correct letters are revealed in their positions. Wrong guesses add body parts to the hangman figure. Six wrong guesses and the game is over. Guess the entire word before that happens to win.
Strategy
- Start with common letters. E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S are the most frequent English letters.
- Look at word length. Short words have fewer possibilities. Use the revealed pattern to narrow down options.
- Pay attention to the category hint for thematic context.
