Try guessing these common letters first: E, T, A, O, I, N, S, R.
Look for patterns in partially revealed words - like common suffixes (-ing, -ed, -tion).
Use the topic as a hint about what kind of words might appear.
Did you know that Hangman was originally a paper-and-pencil game from Victorian times? It became popular as a way to teach spelling and vocabulary.
The letter 'E' appears in about 11% of all English words, making it the most common letter and usually a good first guess.
Teachers have used Hangman for decades in classrooms because it combines learning with play - kids don't even realize they're practicing language skills!
