Learn your way around 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.

A small practice goal

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Aim for this result

Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.

The steps to play

  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.

The controls to know

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example before you play

In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.

A common point of confusion

Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
