The essentials of playing Hangman

Take a moment with Hangman before moving to another game. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

A small practice goal

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

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. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

Put the rules into context

In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.

Where a round can go wrong

Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
