About Hangman

Hangman is a word-guessing game played with one hidden English word. The three themes are Animals, Garden, and Space, with 12 words in each theme.

The interface can be read in English or Chinese, but the answers are English words. A finished round reveals the word and its meaning.

How to play Hangman

01Each round uses one of 12 English words from the selected theme. Every letter begins hidden, with its position shown on the board.
02Choose one letter from A to Z. If it appears in the answer, all of its positions are revealed at once. A letter that is not in the answer uses one of six wrong guesses.
03Guessing a letter again, or sending an input that is not one English letter, does not use another guess or change the round.
04Reveal all distinct letters to win. If you make six different incorrect guesses first, the round ends and shows the answer and its meaning.
05After a win, another word in the same theme starts automatically in three seconds; choose Continue now or Stay here. New Word starts a different answer immediately, and choosing another theme starts a round from that theme. There is no gameplay timer or saved progress.

Hangman controls

Letter buttons: Click or tap one of the 26 letter buttons to make a guess. A correct letter appears everywhere it occurs in the answer.
Keyboard: Focus the letter keyboard and type one A–Z letter. Modified shortcuts, held-key repeats, and input-method composition are ignored.
Themes and rounds: Choose Animals, Garden, or Space to start in that theme. After a win, another word in the current theme starts automatically in three seconds; Continue now skips the wait and Stay here cancels this countdown. New Word starts a different word immediately; neither action saves the previous round.

Hangman: levels and progress

There are three themes with 12 words each. The game has no difficulty settings or numbered levels.

A new round selects another word in the chosen theme. Changing the theme starts a round in that theme; there is no same-word restart control.

Hangman tips and strategies

Start with a useful letter

A vowel can reveal several positions at once. Common consonants can also help show the shape of the answer.

Read the pattern

Use the number of letters and the revealed positions together. One letter may appear more than once, and a single correct guess reveals all its matches.

Track different misses

Only a new incorrect letter adds a drawing part. Repeating an already guessed letter is safe, but does not advance the round.

Check the theme

The selected theme narrows the word set, but it does not reveal the answer. Use it as one clue alongside the visible pattern.

Try a vowel early. It can show whether the answer has one or several vowel positions.
Use the visible word length and any revealed pattern to narrow down likely spellings before spending another guess.
A correct repeated letter fills every matching position, so check the whole word after each reveal.
Keep track of letters already tried. Repeating one is harmless, but it will not reveal anything new.

Hangman FAQ

Are the answers in English or Chinese?

The answer words use English letters. The interface and instructions are available in English and Chinese, and the word meaning appears after a round ends.

How many wrong guesses are allowed?

You can make six different incorrect guesses. Repeating a letter does not use another guess.

What happens when a word contains the same letter more than once?

One correct guess reveals every position containing that letter.

Does the game save my round?

There is no gameplay timer or saved progress. After a win, another word in the same theme starts in three seconds unless you choose Stay here; Continue now skips the wait.

How many words are included?

There are 36 original answer entries: 12 each for Animals, Garden, and Space.

Can I guess the same letter more than once?

It ends when all distinct answer letters have been guessed or when six different wrong letters have been entered. The word and its meaning are then shown.

Is progress saved or timed?

There is no gameplay timer or saved round history. After a win, another answer in the current theme starts in three seconds unless you choose Stay here; Continue now skips the wait. New Word selects another answer immediately.
