Guess the hidden word — one letter at a time.
Pick a category from the dropdown — animals, food, countries, films and more — then click letters on the on-screen keyboard. Correct letters fill in the blanks; wrong letters add a body part to the gallows figure. You have six wrong guesses before the figure is complete and the game ends. The keyboard greys out used letters so you don't waste a turn. A win streak counter at the bottom tracks consecutive correct solves; lose a round and it resets. Keyboard input also works on desktop — just press a letter key.
English follows a predictable letter distribution: E, T, A, O, I, N, S, H, R appear in most words and should be your opening guesses. Common letter pairs (TH, HE, IN, ER) are clues — if you've revealed an E and the position before is empty, H is a strong bet. Word length narrows possibilities sharply: a 3-letter word is almost certainly THE, AND, FOR, NOT, BUT, YOU or a similar staple. Save Q, X, Z, J for last unless the category strongly suggests them.
Pick a familiar category — your odds are much better in topics you know. After three correct vowels, switch to consonants T, N, S, R. If the word is short, list possibles silently before guessing. And don't double-tap the keyboard on mobile; ghost taps cost wrong guesses.
