About This Game
Hangman is a word guessing game where a hidden word is shown as blank letter slots. Choosing a correct letter reveals every matching position in the word, including repeated letters. Incorrect guesses increase the mistake count, and the round is lost after six wrong letters. The game uses a local word list, on-screen A to Z buttons, and optional keyboard letter input for quick play.
How to Play
- Start with the blank word slots.
- Choose letters from the on-screen keyboard or type a letter.
- Watch correct guesses reveal all matching letters.
- Avoid reaching six incorrect guesses.
- Use New Game to reset and choose a new random word.
Rules
- Each letter can be guessed only once per round.
- Correct repeated letters are revealed together.
- Six incorrect guesses causes a loss and reveals the answer.

Tips
- Start with common vowels to reveal the word shape.
- Look for repeated patterns before guessing rare letters.
- Use common consonants like T, R, S, and N when the word has several blanks.
- After a few letters appear, think about full word possibilities before choosing again.
