How to play
Choose a category — Animals, Food, Science or Geography — and the game picks a hidden word from that pool. You guess letters by clicking the on-screen keyboard or pressing a key on your real one. Correct letters appear in their positions; wrong letters add a piece to the hangman drawing.
You can make up to six wrong guesses. Reveal all letters before the gallows is complete to win. Click New word to skip the current puzzle and start a fresh one from the same category.
Strategy tips
- Start with the most common English letters: E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S.
- Vowels first narrows down possibilities quickly — try A, E, I, O, U.
- Watch for word length and category cues: a four-letter animal is rarely "pterodactyl".
- Once you know the word, type the remaining letters in any order — you don't have to spell it.
Controls
- Click a letter on the keyboard, or press the matching physical key.
- Switch category with the toggle (resets the current word).
- New word discards the current puzzle and draws a fresh one.
