Frequently Asked Questions

Hangman is a classic word-guessing game where one player thinks of a word and the other tries to guess it by suggesting letters. Each incorrect guess results in drawing one part of a stick figure on a gallows. The game ends when the word is guessed correctly or the drawing is completed (traditionally six wrong guesses).

Click any letter button or press a keyboard key (A-Z) to guess that letter. Correct letters will appear in the hidden word. Wrong letters will be listed and a part of the hangman drawing will appear. You have 6 wrong attempts before the game is lost. Use the hint (category) to help you!

Start with common vowels like E, A, O, I. Then try frequently used consonants: T, N, S, R, L. Pay attention to the word length and the category hint. Avoid guessing rare letters (Q, Z, X, J) early. Use process of elimination to narrow down possibilities.

The name comes from the visual representation: a stick figure being “hanged” on a gallows with each wrong guess. The origin dates back to Victorian times, and it remains a popular paper-and-pencil game worldwide.
