Hangman

The classic word guessing game, ready in your browser. Guess the hidden word one letter at a time before the drawing is complete — six wrong guesses and the word is lost. A round has five words, and an easy mode (on by default) makes wrong vowel guesses free, which is handy for younger players or a gentler warm-up. Turn it off for the traditional rules. No login, no download.

1. Pick a letter. If it's in the word, every copy of it is revealed.
2. If it isn't, part of the drawing is added — six misses ends the word.
3. In easy mode, a wrong vowel doesn't count as a miss.
4. Reveal the whole word to score it, then move on to the next.
5. Finish all five words to complete the round.

How many wrong guesses do I get?

Six per word. Easy mode doesn't count wrong vowels, so you effectively get more room to explore.

Can I switch easy mode off?

Yes. Switch the easy mode toggle off to play with the traditional rules, where every miss counts.

Is Hangman free to play?

Yes. It's free in your browser on desktop or mobile — no login and no download.
