The classic hangman game, without the hangman

Hangman is the classic game of guessing a hidden word one letter at a time before you run out of tries. Pick a category (animals, fruit, colors, everyday objects, countries, jobs or sports) and a difficulty level, then guess using the on-screen keyboard or your physical keyboard. Instead of the traditional gallows drawing, every wrong guess here makes a friendly little robot lose a part, antenna, eyes, arms and legs, until it powers down completely if all 8 tries run out, a gentler way to show the same rising stakes that works for players of any age. The word bank has more than 180 words per language and will not repeat a word within a category until every option has been used.

How to play

Pick, guess, repeat

  1. Choose a category (animals, fruit, colors and more) and a difficulty level.
  2. Tap a letter on the on-screen keyboard, or type on your physical keyboard, to try a letter of the word.
  3. Guess the whole word before 8 wrong tries; once the round ends, tap "Next word" to keep playing.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Each category (animals, fruit, colors, everyday objects, countries, jobs and sports) has its own word list. Difficulty filters that list by word length, easy pulls shorter words, hard pulls longer ones; if a combination has too few words of that length, the game fills in with the rest of the category so the draw never gets stuck.
