Hangman is a classic word game for two players, a host and a guesser. It's a popular game to play in school because it helps kids to practice spelling. How to play: The host chooses a word or short phrase and the guesser must guess it before the unfortunate character is 'hanged'The guesser begins to guess letters. For example, they may ask "Is there an A in this word?"If that letter is in the word, the host writes in all the places it appears.If that letter does not appear, the host fills out a dotted line on the hangman diagram.At any point, the guesser may guess the word. If they are incorrect, another line is filled out on the hangman.If the hangman is completed (which takes six missed guesses), the guesser has lost.If the guesser guesses the word correctly before the hangman is completed, they win.Variation - if you're playing with children who might need more guesses, they can also draw a sad face on the hangman.
