Hangman game online: how to play Hangman
The game picks a secret word and shows one empty box for each letter. The label above the boxes tells you the category and how many letters it has. Guess the word one letter at a time.
Tap a letter on the keyboard, or type it on your own keyboard. If the letter is in the word, it shows up in every box where it belongs. If it is not, the drawing gets one more part. You lose when the drawing is finished. That takes six wrong guesses. Then the game shows you the word.
Pick a level at the top. Easy uses short words of up to six letters, gives you two hints, and scores normal points. Normal uses words of five to nine letters, gives you one hint, and doubles your points. Hard uses words of eight letters or more, gives you no hints, and triples your points. A hint reveals a letter for you, but it costs one of your six guesses.
Every right letter earns points. Solving the word earns a bonus for the guesses you have left and the length of the word. Solve words one after another to build a streak for extra points. Solve a word with no wrong guesses for a flawless bonus. Losing a word ends your run. The game shows your run score and streak, then you press Play again to start a new run.
The game also has a two-player mode. One person types a secret word and hides it, then passes the phone to a friend who tries to guess it. Your best scores are saved in this browser. For more games like this, see the word games page.
