Hangman: a guide for your next round
Start Hangman by looking at the playing area and its controls. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
A focus for your next round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you are aiming for
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
From the start of a round
- 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.
- Finish the word or start another round.
Using the playing area
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
