Description
It's a race against time and a pure test of your vocabulary. Welcome to Hangman, the definitive digital version of the classic word-guessing game that has challenged minds for generations. The premise is simple and timeless: a secret word, a series of blank spaces, and a limited number of guesses before your time is up. Every letter you choose is a high-stakes gamble. Will it reveal a crucial clue, or will it be another step towards defeat? When you play Hangman and earn coin for every word you successfully solve, you can unlock new, challenging word categories and fun visual themes.

You can now spend some of your hard-earned coins to reveal a single letter, but use your hints wisely!
Instructions
How to Play
The rules are simple. The challenge is in your mind.
- Observe the Blanks: Look at the number of blank spaces to determine the length of the secret word.
- Guess a Letter: Use your mouse to click on a letter from the alphabet keyboard.
- Solve the Puzzle: If the letter is in the word, it will appear in the correct space(s). If not, a part of the hangman drawing will be added. Solve the word before the drawing is complete to win!
The Word Nerd's Corner: Your Q&A
Is this game really free to play?
Yes, one hundred percent. We believe that a great mental workout should be accessible to everyone. It's a core tenet of our philosophy, which you can read all about on our about us page. Every word category is unlockable through gameplay.
How do I earn coins faster in Hangman?
By being a linguistic genius! You get a base amount of coins for solving a word, but you get a huge bonus for solving it with the fewest incorrect guesses. A perfect round, where you guess only letters that are in the word, yields the maximum coin reward. Efficiency is key!
What's the best strategy to solve words?
Start with the most common letters in the English language. Vowels like E, A, I, O, U and common consonants like T, N, S, R, and H are statistically the best opening guesses. This will give you a strong foundation to work from. It's a classic strategy that applies to many of the best word games you can find on sites like Poki.
Can you have a "Hero Rescue" moment in Hangman?
That's the ultimate moment of inspiration! A "Hero Rescue" is when you're on your very last guess. The drawing is almost complete, and you have almost no letters to go on. Instead of giving up, you have a flash of insight, see a pattern, and guess the entire word correctly, "rescuing" the game from certain defeat. It's the most satisfying victory for any wordsmith.
Do I need to download anything to play?
Not at all. This version of Hangman is built with streamlined HTML5, so it runs instantly in your browser on any modern PC, laptop, or tablet. No downloads, no installs—just pure, word-guessing fun.
