How to play Hangman

Take a moment with Hangman before moving to another game. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. 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. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.

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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

A useful example

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. Take a moment to compare.

Watch out for this

Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
