Know the goal in Hangman

Read the aim of Hangman, then make your first move. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. 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

  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.

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.
