Know the goal in Hangman

Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
Something to practise
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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.
Input guidance
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.
Pay attention to this rule
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
