How to play Hangman
Hangman gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Practice with a purpose
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
What you need to achieve
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. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The playing sequence
- 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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Follow the 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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Pay attention to this rule
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
