Your guide to Hangman
Choose a round of Hangman and settle into its rules. 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.
One thing to notice as you play
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
