Create your own Hangman game

How do I create a custom Hangman game?

Creating your own Hangman game is easy! Enter your custom words or phrases in the provided form. Only letters (A-Z) are allowed—no numbers or special characters. The game works best with words that people actually know, so try to avoid extremely obscure terms unless that's the point of your game.

Can I add multiple words?

Yes! You can enter a list of words (one per line), and the game will randomly select one each time you play. This is perfect for classroom vocabulary practice, family game nights, or testing knowledge on any subject. You could create lists for science terms, book characters, geography locations - whatever interests you.

Do I need an account to create a custom game?

No, you can create and play a custom Hangman game without signing up. The website is designed this way to make it easy for teachers to use in classrooms without requiring student accounts. It also means you can quickly create games for one-time events or casual play without any hassle.

What happens after I save my custom Hangman game?

After saving, you will get two important links:

• - A play link that you can use to start the game and share with others
• - An edit link that lets you modify your word list or game details later

Make sure to bookmark or save the edit link somewhere—you won't be able to recover it if lost, and you'll need to create a whole new game instead.

How can I update my custom Hangman game?

Use the edit link provided after saving. This allows you to modify your word list, add new words, or remove ones that aren't working well. If you're using the game for teaching, you might want to update it as students master certain words and need more challenging ones. If you lose the edit link, you'll need to create a new custom Hangman game from scratch.

How do I start playing my custom Hangman game?

After saving, you will see a play link. Simply open the link to play your custom Hangman game. Each time you start a new game, it will randomly select a different word from your list, so the game stays fresh even if you play multiple times. The gameplay works exactly like regular Hangman - guess letters to uncover the hidden word before you run out of attempts.

Can I share my custom Hangman game with others?

Yes! Share the play link with friends, family, students, or colleagues. They can play your custom Hangman game without needing to sign up. This is particularly useful for teachers who want to create vocabulary practice for students, parents making educational games for kids, or friends challenging each other with inside jokes or favorite movie quotes.

What makes a fun custom game?

The best custom games usually have:

• - A good mix of easy and challenging words
• - Words that fit a specific theme or category
• - A clear description so players know what to expect
• - Word lengths appropriate for your audience (shorter for kids, longer for adults)
• - Words that are familiar enough to be guessable but challenging enough to be fun
