How to play Hangman
Take a moment with Hangman before moving to another game. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Use the example below to understand a decision.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step

Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
