Hangman

Guess the word before the drawing is complete

Run from anywhere in CLI-Games$ hangman

Every letter is a wager: find the word before six misses finish the hangman.

Choose a difficulty, read the blanks, and spend each guess carefully. A single letter can open the word up—or use one of your six wrong guesses.

Guess a word when you see it, or work letter by letter. The board keeps the pattern, misses, and remaining chances visible while you solve it from the prompt.
