How to play Hangman

  1. Press Start. A hidden word appears as a row of empty boxes.
  2. Type a letter. If it is in the word it fills its boxes; if not, a piece is added to the gallows.
  3. Solve the word before the drawing is complete. Solve words in a row to build your streak and score.

Tips for a longer run

  • Start with common letters — vowels and the frequent consonants of the language you chose.
  • Look at the length of the word and the letters already uncovered before guessing a rare letter.
