Hangman
The playground classic, with no clue to lean on — the blanks and the letters you have already found are all you get. Six wrong letters finish the round, so the order you guess in matters more than it looks.
How it works
- Tap a letter to reveal every place it appears in the word.
- There's no clue — the blanks and the letters you've found are all you get.
- A letter that isn't in the word adds a piece to the figure. Six pieces ends the round.
- Undo takes back your last guess, and any piece it added.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- A puzzle with rules everyone already knows
- Two minutes rather than twenty
- Setting a word for someone you know
Hangman in Winters Puzzles
Hangman is one of 32 puzzles in Winters Puzzles, so it sits alongside Word Search, Word Guess, Word Ladder and everything else in the app rather than being a download of its own. It can turn up in Today’s Mix, and it counts towards your stats and streak like any other puzzle.
Hangman is also one of the six puzzles you can write yourself. Put in your own words or questions, try it, then send a link so someone else can play exactly what you made — see create and share.
