How to play Hangman

Open Hangman, check the instructions and begin a round. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

A useful comparison

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Step by step

1. Read the clue and note the number of hidden letters.
2. Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.
3. Repeated correct letters are all revealed together.
4. Finish the word or start another round.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

A useful example

In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
