Find your footing in Hangman
Try Hangman at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
Practice with a purpose
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How a round unfolds
- Read the clue and note the number of hidden letters.
- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.
- Repeated correct letters are all revealed together.
- Finish the word or start another round.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Follow the example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Pay attention to this rule
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
