Read before your next round of Hangman
Hangman gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Something to practise
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
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. The example below illustrates a decision.
How to proceed
- Read the clue and note the number of hidden letters.
- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.
- Repeated correct letters are all revealed together.
- Finish the word or start another round.
Your inputs
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
Work through an example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
A mistake to avoid
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
