Learn the rules of Hangman
Bring your attention to one round of Hangman. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Practice beyond the first move
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Making your moves
- Read the clue and note the number of hidden letters.
- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.
- Repeated correct letters are all revealed together.
- Finish the word or start another round.
How your actions work
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
