Hangman: from controls to your first round
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Hangman. 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Practice beyond the first move
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The challenge in front of you
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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.
Input guidance
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example to follow
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
An important reminder
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
