About Hangman

A hidden word is shown as blanks. You guess one letter at a time; correct letters appear in their places and wrong guesses bring the drawing closer to completion. Guess the whole word before it is finished.

Hangman is a relaxed way to practise spelling and vocabulary. It also teaches you which letters are most common in English words.

Tips to play better

  • Start with common vowels such as E, A and O.
  • Next try frequent consonants like T, R, N and S.
  • Look at the word length and the letters you have to spot likely prefixes and endings.
