Hangman

A hidden word is shown as a row of blanks. Guess one letter at a time: a correct letter reveals every spot it appears, while a wrong guess adds another part to the figure. Solve the word before six wrong guesses complete the drawing.

• Pick a letter, right guesses fill in all matching blanks
• Every wrong letter costs a life and draws one more body part
• Six wrong guesses ends the round; complete the word to win

• Desktop: type any letter on your keyboard, or click letters on the on-screen A–Z keyboard. Used letters are disabled and color-coded right or wrong.
• Phone & tablet: tap the on-screen keyboard to guess letters.

• Six word categories to choose from, plus a Mixed setting
• Daily puzzle shared by everyone, and endless Practice rounds
• A Hint reveals a letter at the cost of one life

• Open with common vowels and high-frequency consonants like E, A, R, S, T and N
• Use the category and the word's length to narrow likely candidates
• Watch the revealed pattern, letter positions and common endings often give the word away before you run out of lives
