Hangman is a classic word-guessing game that dates back to the early 17th century. It is a simple yet challenging game that can be enjoyed by players of all ages. In this game, one player thinks of a word or phrase, and the other player(s) try to guess it by suggesting letters. With every incorrect guess, a portion of the hanging man’s body is drawn. The goal is to guess the word before the is completely drawn. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to play hangman.

Step 1: Choose a Word or Phrase

The first player should think of a word or phrase that they want the other player(s) to guess. The word should be age-appropriate, and not too difficult.

Step 2: Draw the Hangman

Draw a basic hangman on a piece of paper. Traditionally, the hangman is drawn with a head, body, two arms, and two legs. You can choose to add details such as a noose and a platform if you like.

Step 3: Display the Number of Letters

Write down the number of blanks on a piece of paper, each corresponding to a letter in the word or phrase. You can also draw the blanks if you prefer. For example, if the word is ‘apple,’ you need to write down ‘_____’

Step 4: Guessing Letters

The guessing player(s) must suggest a letter that they believe is present in the word/phrase. The player can only suggest one letter at a time, and each letter can be suggested once. If the letter is in the word, the person who thought of the word must write that letter in the corresponding blank(s). If the letter is not in the word, the player needs to draw the next part of the hangman.

Step 5: Keep Track of Incorrect Guesses

The player(s) must keep track of incorrect guesses. Traditionally, players use gallows to indicate each incorrect guess. There are six steps, and at each incorrect guess, one step is completed. Once all six steps are completed, a full hangman is drawn, and the guessing player(s) lose the game.

Step 6: Winning the Game

The guessing player(s) win the game if they can correctly guess the word or phrase before the hangman is fully drawn. They lose the game if the hangman is fully drawn before they can guess the word.
