Know the goal in Hangman
Take a moment with Hangman before moving to another game. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Bring this focus to a round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What counts as success

From the start of a round
- Read the clue and note the number of hidden letters.
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
An example before you play
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. Keep the controls nearby.
Pay attention to this rule
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
