🔡 Hangman Puzzle

About this game

Hangman is one of the most enduring word-guessing games ever invented, and this version brings the classic pencil-and-paper favorite to your screen with a helpful topic hint and a full on-screen keyboard. A secret word is chosen at random and displayed as a row of blank spaces, one for each hidden letter, and your task is to identify every letter in the word before you exhaust your seven available attempts. Every correct guess reveals all matching occurrences of that letter throughout the word, while every incorrect guess costs you one of your precious remaining tries, so each choice carries real weight the closer you get to running out. Smart play usually starts with common vowels and frequently used consonants before narrowing in on less common letters once the general shape of the word starts to emerge from context and the accompanying hint. It is a wonderful blend of vocabulary knowledge and probability, rewarding players who think carefully about letter frequency rather than guessing at random, and a brand new word and hint are ready the moment your round ends.
