Your guide to Hangman
Hangman gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Use the example below to understand a decision.
One thing to notice as you play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
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. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How a round unfolds
- Read the clue and note the number of hidden letters.
- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.
- Repeated correct letters are all revealed together.
- Finish the word or start another round.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
Follow the example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
