How to play Hangman
Try Hangman at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Look at what changes after your first action. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

A useful 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.
Watch out for this
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
