Hangman

Hangman is a free take on the classic word guessing game. A secret word is hidden on the screen, and you guess it one letter at a time. Every puzzle comes with a clue to point you in the right direction. Guess well and you solve the word. Guess badly and you lose your balloons, and the beast below gets its dinner.

More Than 6,000 Puzzles

With over 6,000 word puzzles, you will not run out of new words any time soon. That makes it a great game to come back to for a few minutes at a time, and a fun way to build vocabulary and spelling.

Balloons Instead of a Gallows

This version swaps the old drawing for balloons. You start with a bunch of them, and you lose one for each wrong guess. The goal is to solve the word while losing as few balloons as possible, and to see how many balloons you can save before the beast eats you.

Click or Type Your Letters

In Hangman, you can guess a letter by clicking it on the screen or by typing it on your keyboard, whichever feels faster.

Smart Guessing Tips

Read the clue first. Start with common vowels like E, A and O, then try common consonants such as T, N, S and R. Look at the length of the word and the letters you already have, and think of words that fit before you guess again.
