Hangman
Guess the word letter by letter before the balloons pop.
About Hangman
Hangman — in a friendly balloon edition — free in your browser. Guess the hidden word one letter at a time; every wrong letter pops one of seven balloons. Words come in themes like animals, food, space, sports, places and music. Solve a word to get the next one, and keep the run going for a high score. A hint shows a letter, at the cost of a balloon.
How to play
Click a letter on the keyboard or type it. Right letters fill in the word; wrong letters pop a balloon. Solve the word before all seven balloons pop, then carry on to the next word. Your score adds up for every word solved, more for balloons left. Esc pauses.

Tips for Hangman
- Start with vowels: E, A, O and I appear in most words.
- Then try common consonants like R, T, N, S and L.
- Use the theme — an animal word can't be a sport!
- Look at the word's length and the letters you've found to guess the whole word.
- A hint shows a letter but costs a balloon, so save it for tough words.
