The classic word game, ready to play
Hangman is the word-guessing game everyone knows: a word is hidden as blanks, you guess letters, and every wrong guess adds a part to the drawing. Find the word before six wrong guesses and you win.
Choose from 25 topics – animals, space, sports, food, Christmas, Halloween and more – or play mixed words. Every word comes with a clue: press Hint when you are stuck. In two-player mode, one person types a secret word (and an optional clue) and the other guesses. Use the on-screen keyboard or your physical keyboard, and project it in fullscreen for the whole class.
How to use
- Pick a topic or keep mixed.
- Guess letters with the on-screen keyboard or by typing.
- Press Hint to see a clue for the word.
- Six wrong guesses complete the drawing and end the round.
- Press New word (or Enter after a round) to play again.
Ideas for using it
- Spelling practice. pick a topic you are studying and play as a class on the board.
- Morning warm-up. one word at the start of the lesson, with the clue as a reading task.
- Two players. a parent types a secret word, the child guesses – great for new vocabulary.
- Rainy days. a quick, screen-friendly game with no ads in the middle of play.
Tips for guessing faster
- Start with common vowels – E, A, O, I – then common consonants like R, S, T, N, L.
- Look at the length and the topic: a 5-letter animal with an E at the end narrows things a lot.
- Use the hint early with younger players; it turns the game into a reading exercise.
