How to play Hangman

This 850305 page combines Hangman with a guide to the decisions it asks you to make. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Use a short learning break to give your round a clear purpose.

A short learning break

Choose one objective for this visit: understand the controls, complete a round, or recognise a common mistake. Progress does not need to be rushed.

Your goal

Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance.

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.

A useful example

In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses.

Watch out for this

Selecting the same letter twice has no effect.
