How to play Hangman
Hangman is free in the browser on Play Online Games. Guess the hidden word or phrase one letter at a time by clicking letters or typing. Each wrong guess adds a part to the drawing. Solve it before the drawing is finished.
Steps
- Look at the category and the blanks. Spaces in phrases are already shown.
- Click a letter on the screen or type it on your keyboard.
- A correct letter appears in every place it occurs.
- A wrong letter adds one part to the drawing.
- Fill in the whole answer before the drawing is complete to win.
Tips to play better
- Start with E and A, then try common consonants such as R, S, T, N, and L.
- Leave rare letters like Q, Z, X, and J until the pattern points to them.
- Use the category. A food and a sport use very different words.
- Look at word length and common endings such as -ING, -ER, and -TION.
- For phrases, solve the shortest word first. It often gives away the rest.
