Making your first moves in Hangman
Bring your attention to one round of Hangman. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

What the game asks you to do
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step

- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.
- Repeated correct letters are all revealed together.
- Finish the word or start another round.
Making selections and moves
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
One way to understand the rules
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Where a round can go wrong
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
