Hangman
Play Hangman free in your browser — no download, no sign-up. Read the clue, guess letters on the keyboard, and save the stick figure before six wrong tries.
Hangman is the classic word-guessing game: a hidden English word, a clue, and six chances before the drawing is complete. Each correct letter fills the blanks; each wrong guess adds another line to the figure. Pick a theme and difficulty, use hints when stuck, and track your best solve times locally.
Why Play Here
Runs entirely in your browser with on-screen and physical keyboard support — no install, no account.
Four word themes, three length-based difficulty levels, bilingual clues for Chinese locales, hints, skip, and local best times plus your last fifteen rounds.
How to Play
Read the clue, then click a letter or press A–Z on your keyboard. Correct letters appear in the word; wrong letters add to the hangman drawing.
You lose after six wrong guesses. Win by revealing every letter before the figure is complete.
Tips
Start with common vowels — E, A, O — then try frequent consonants like R, S, T.
Use the category tag and clue together: an animal theme plus “striped big cat” strongly suggests TIGER.
Save hints for when you are down to one or two wrong guesses left.
Quick Tips
- Try E, A, O first on most English words.
- Short easy words often use double letters — watch for patterns as letters appear.
- If the clue mentions a place or food, guess letters common in that category.
- Skip a word you cannot solve — it counts as a loss but keeps the game moving.
- One hint reveals a random missing letter without using a wrong guess.
