How to play
- The word is shown as a row of blanks, one per letter.
- Pick a letter: if it’s in the word it appears everywhere it belongs; if not, it counts as a mistake.
- Each letter can only be tried once; used letters stay marked on the keyboard.
- Six mistakes complete the drawing (head, body, two arms and two legs) and the game ends.
- Accents don’t matter in languages that have them: A also finds Á.
Controls
- Try a letter
- Tap it on the on-screen keyboard or type it on yours
- New word
- “New word” button (leaving a word half-guessed counts as a loss)
- Play again
- Enter or the “Play again” button at the end
Description
Classic Hangman, in your language: there’s a hidden word and you uncover it letter by letter. Every letter that isn’t there adds a part to the drawing; if it’s complete before you guess the word, you lose. It’s free in your browser, with everyday words and no proper names.
Classic Hangman with words in every language: guess the word letter by letter before the drawing is complete. Difficulty rises with your streak, and your stats are saved in your browser.
Modes and difficulty
Progressive
Starts with easy words, moves to Normal after 3 wins in a row and to Hard after 6.
Easy, Normal, Hard
Only words of that level. The level comes from the word itself: length, rare letters and how many different letters it has.
Tips
- Start with the commonest vowels (E, A, O) and then frequent consonants like T, N, S and R.
- Read the pattern: a doubled blank or a letter at the end says a lot.
- Short words are harder than they look: there are fewer letters to hit.
- Once you have a few letters, think of whole words before guessing at random.
FAQ
Do words repeat?
Not right away: the game remembers the last words you got in your language and avoids them.
