Hangman is a classic word game that has been around for generations. It’s a great way for kids to learn new words and for adults to brush up on their spelling. The game is played by having a person or group of people take turns guessing the letters of a hidden word. Each time they guess a letter correctly, they get points. The person or team with the most points by the end of the game wins.
Hangman is typically played by two or more people. One person, the "host", will think of a word and write out its letters using underscores. The other person or team, the "guesser", will then guess the hidden word by suggesting letters. For each correct answer, the host will fill in the blank letter. The guesser will then earn points for each correct answer. If the guesser incorrectly guesses a letter, the host will draw a hangman’s gallows. The guesser can then continue guessing until the word is guessed or the full hangman is drawn.
Hangman can be modified to fit the players’ needs and preferences. The game can be played with just one person as the guesser, or it can be played with teams of two or more players. The words can range in difficulty and they can be chosen randomly or by the host. The game can be timed, or the players can take turns.
