About Hangman

Hangman is a free 2-player word-guessing game online. One player secretly enters a word; the other guesses letters. Wrong guesses build the drawing. Solve the word in time to win — play online with a friend or locally on one device.

How to play Hangman

  1. One player enters a secret word (no peeking).
  2. The other player guesses one letter at a time.
  3. Correct letters appear in the word; wrong guesses add to the drawing.
  4. Guess the full word before the drawing is complete to win.
  5. Online: share an invite code. Local: pass the device after the word is set.

Tips & strategy

  • Start with common vowels: A, E, I, O, U.
  • Then try frequent consonants like R, S, T, L, and N.
  • Word choosers: avoid ultra-obscure spellings if you want a fair, fun match.
  • Guessers: watch letter patterns — double letters and endings give big clues.
