Hangman

Hangman is one of the oldest word games there is, played for generations with nothing more than paper and pencil. One player knows a word, the other guesses letters, and every wrong guess adds another stroke to a drawing of a stick figure on a gallows. Guess the word before the drawing is finished and you win; run out of chances and the figure is hanged.

This version keeps that classic idea and adds a reward layer. Each word you guess correctly earns points and diamonds, and the score invites you to see how high you can climb. Diamonds have a use: when a word seems too hard, you can spend them on a hint rather than risk the stick man.

Difficulty rises along a linear progression, so the early words build confidence and later ones ask more of your vocabulary. The description also pitches it as a way to learn new words while sharpening your guessing, which makes it a fair choice for family play as well as solo practice.

1. Look at the number of letters in the hidden word.
2. Guess letters one at a time.
3. Spend diamonds on a hint if the word is too hard.
4. Solve it before the stick man is hanged.

Open with common vowels, then try frequent consonants such as R, S, T and N. They reveal the shape of most words quickly and save your diamonds for real emergencies.
