How to play hangman here
- Choose Random word, then pick a category and a word length, or choose A player types it and enter a secret word or short phrase while the others look away.
- Guess letters by tapping the buttons or typing on your keyboard. Right letters fill in every matching blank. Wrong letters add a piece to the drawing.
- Solve the word before the sixth wrong guess. The word is revealed at the end, and the wins and losses count updates. Press New word to go again.
How hangman works
One player (or the computer) picks a word and shows one blank for each letter. The others take turns guessing letters. A correct letter appears in every spot where it belongs; a wrong letter is added to the “wrong letters” list and draws one more piece of the figure. Guess the whole word before the figure is complete and you win.
Playing with a friend or a group
In A player types it mode, one person enters a word or short phrase and presses Start game. The box clears right away, so pass the device to the guessers. A short phrase makes a longer game, and the gaps and punctuation are shown automatically, so the guessers only need to find the letters. Each game adds a win or a loss to the shared score, which makes a quick best-of-five easy to run.
Using it in class
Pick a category that fits the lesson, use Easy words (3 to 5 letters) for younger students or Hard (9 or more letters) for a challenge, and press Full screen for the projector. Have students raise a hand to suggest a letter, or split the room into two teams that alternate guesses. For vocabulary or spelling review, use pass-and-play and type this week’s words yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How many wrong guesses do I get?
Six. Each wrong letter adds one part of the drawing: head, body, two arms, and two legs. The sixth wrong guess ends the round.
Can I play with my own word?
Yes. Choose A player types it. The word is hidden as you type (use Show to double-check spelling), and spaces, numbers, and punctuation are filled in for the guessers, so phrases like “ice cream” work. Letters A to Z only.
How do I use it in a classroom?
Press Full screen to enlarge the word and letters for a projector. Pick a category that matches your unit, and let students take turns suggesting letters. In full screen, the settings are tucked away so the board stays clean.
Are the words appropriate for kids?
Yes. The built-in lists use everyday words in six categories (animals, food, sports, school, nature, and holidays) with no names or brands. The drawing is a simple cartoon figure.
Is my score saved?
The wins and losses count lasts until you reload the page or press Reset score. Your last category, word length, and mode are remembered in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
