Hangman: instructions and practice
Read the aim of Hangman, then make your first move. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
An idea for your next attempt
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you need to achieve

The steps to play
- 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.

How to use the controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example before you play
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
