Play Hangman online
Hangman is a word-guessing game where each correct letter reveals part of a hidden answer and each incorrect guess uses one of a limited number of mistakes.
This version uses a curated built-in word set with categories and hints, so it works entirely offline inside the browser runtime.
How to control Hangman
- Click or tap a letter to guess it
- Desktop: type letter keys directly
- Select New Word to start another round
How to play
- 1
Use the category and hint to reason about the hidden word.
- 2
Guess letters one at a time; correct letters fill every matching position.
- 3
Solve the word before six incorrect guesses complete the figure.
Tips for a better run
Start with common vowels such as A and E, then high-frequency consonants like R, S, T, and N.
Use the category and hint before spending guesses on unusual letters.
When a repeated letter appears once, remember it may appear in several positions.
As the word fills in, think in whole-word patterns instead of isolated letters.
