Guess the hidden word one letter at a time
Hangman is a classic word-guessing game that challenges your vocabulary and deduction skills. A secret word is chosen and displayed as a series of blank dashes. Your goal is to uncover the word by guessing one letter at a time. Each correct guess reveals where that letter appears in the word. Each incorrect guess adds a body part to the hangman figure — you have six wrong guesses before the game is over.
Choose a category from the dropdown above to focus on a specific topic, or leave it on “Random” for a surprise. When the round ends, you can click the revealed word to explore its full definition on VariousWords. Hangman is an excellent way to discover new words and reinforce spelling, making it a perfect companion to your dictionary and thesaurus exploration.
