Read before your next round of Hangman
Open Hangman, check the instructions and begin a round. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Something to practise
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Keep the objective visible.
Understand the aim
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
The order of play
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Work through an example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
