Hangman
Guess the word before the hangman is complete!
What Is This Tool?
Play Hangman free in your browser — no download, no account, and no ads interrupting the game. Guess letters one at a time to reveal a hidden word before you run out of Guesses Left. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty, and the game tracks your Wins and Losses across rounds so you can watch your record grow.
How to Use
- Pick a difficulty — Easy, Medium, or Hard — from the Select Difficulty screen.
- Guess a letter you think appears in the hidden word.
- Correct guesses fill in the matching letters; incorrect guesses reduce your Guesses Left.
- Keep an eye on Remaining to see how many wrong guesses you can still afford.
- Reveal every letter before you run out of guesses to see You Win!.
- If you run out of guesses first, the game shows You Lose! and reveals "The word was" so you can see the answer.
Common Use Cases
- Practising vocabulary and spelling in a low-pressure way
- A quick word game for kids or classroom downtime
- Taking a short mental break between work or study sessions
- Playing a familiar word-guessing game without installing anything
- Challenging yourself with a harder difficulty as you improve
Tips & Tricks
- Start with common vowels and frequently used consonants before guessing less common letters.
- Use the word's length and any revealed letters to narrow down likely words as you go.
- Try Easy difficulty first if you're new to the game, then move up to Medium or Hard for a bigger challenge.
- Keep track of letters you've already guessed so you don't waste a turn repeating one.
- Don't rush — take a moment to think through likely letters before each guess, since Guesses Left is limited.
