How to play Hangman
Start Hangman by looking at the playing area and its controls. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
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. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. 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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
