Learn the rules of Hangman

Bring your attention to one round of Hangman. 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. Look at what changes after your first action.

Practice with a purpose

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.

What you are aiming for

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. Take a moment to understand the current position.

How a round unfolds

  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.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

Try this example

In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

Pay attention to this rule

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.
