How to play Hangman
Make Hangman your next activity in the game library. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
