What is Hangman Game?

Hangman Game is a simple word puzzle where one player thinks of a word, and the other players try to guess it letter by letter. The goal is to guess the correct word before a stick figure (the "hangman") is fully drawn, representing the number of incorrect guesses allowed. Each wrong guess brings the drawing one step closer to completion, adding an element of suspense and excitement to the game.

How to Play Hangman Game

The rules of Hangman Game are easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. Here’s a basic breakdown of how the game works:

  1. One Player Chooses a Word: The word is kept secret, and the other player(s) will need to guess it. The number of letters in the word is displayed as blank spaces (e.g., "_ _ _ _" for a four-letter word).
  2. Guessing Letters: Players take turns guessing one letter at a time. If the guessed letter is correct, it is placed in the correct position(s) within the word. If it is incorrect, a part of the hangman is drawn.
  3. Drawing the Hangman: With each incorrect guess, a part of the hangman figure is drawn (usually starting with the head and ending with the feet). The game typically allows for six to eight incorrect guesses before the hangman is fully drawn, and the game is lost.
  4. Winning the Game: The player wins if they guess all the letters in the word before the hangman is completed. If the figure is fully drawn, the guessing player(s) lose the round.
