Guess the hidden word letter by letter in this classic Hangman word game! Avoid filling the hangman figure, learn new vocabulary, and challenge yourself across three difficulty levels.
How to Play:
A word with hidden letters appears on screen. Guess one letter at a time by typing or clicking. Each wrong guess adds a part to the hangman figure. Guess the full word before the figure is complete!
Objective:
Guess all letters in the hidden word before running out of wrong guesses.
Controls:
- Desktop: Type letters on keyboard or click the on-screen alphabet — press Enter to submit
- Mobile / Tablet: Tap letters on the on-screen alphabet
Scoring:
- +10 points per correct guess on Easy, +20 on Medium, +30 on Hard
- Correct word before running out of guesses earns bonus points
- More remaining guesses = higher bonus
Winning:
- Win: Guess the full word before the hangman is complete
- Lose: Run out of allowed wrong guesses — the word is revealed
Difficulty Levels:
- Easy: 8 wrong guesses allowed, simpler words — forgiving and educational
- Medium: 6 wrong guesses allowed, moderate word length — the standard challenge
- Hard: 4 wrong guesses allowed, longer and trickier words — intense word guessing
Game Features:
- Classic hangman art — the figure fills in with each wrong guess
- On-screen alphabet — used letters are marked as correct or wrong
- Mobile keyboard — special input for touch devices
- Word variety — different words each game for replayability
- Sound effects — feedback for correct and wrong guesses
- High score tracking saved to localStorage
- 3 difficulty levels — from 8 to 4 wrong guesses allowed
Pro Tips:
- Guess common letters first — E, T, A, O, I, N appear most frequently in English
- Look at word length — shorter words have fewer possibilities
- Use vowels strategically — if no vowels fit, the word may use Y
- On Hard mode — only 4 wrong guesses; think carefully before each letter
- Consider word patterns — double letters, common endings (-ING, -ED, -ER) help narrow options
