How to play Hangman

A small practice goal

- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.

A closer look at one example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Check this before moving on
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
