1
Choose a topic (optional)
Select a topic such as Shapes, People, Places, or Food & Drinks. This helps narrow down the possibilities and makes guessing easier. If you're playing with kids, animal topics are usually a good place to start. For adults, try more challenging categories like science terms or literary characters.
2
Guess the word or phrase by suggesting letters
Start by guessing common letters (A, E, I, O, U, T, S, R, N). These letters appear most frequently in English words. If the letter is in the word, it will be revealed in its correct position. If the letter is not in the word, a part of the hangman figure is drawn. Keep track of letters you've already guessed to avoid wasting turns.
3
Win or lose
You win if you guess all the letters before the figure is fully drawn. You lose if you run out of guesses before completing the word. The game helps expand your vocabulary - even when you lose, you learn new words! Hangman is especially good for visual learners, since it helps connect spelling patterns with word recognition.
