Hangman

Guess the word before the drawing is complete

Mobile betaClassicswordclassic

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.

What you will see

Nine letters, six lives, no hintsreplay

Guess a letter by typing it.
