Players are presented with a word or phrase, and they must make educated guesses to figure out the correct sequence of letters.
The word is displayed with underscores representing each letter, and for each incorrect guess, a part of a hangman's gallows is drawn. The goal is to guess the word before the gallows is complete.
Players can submit one letter at a time, and the game responds with the result, filling in correct letters and adding to the gallows for incorrect ones. The game runs in the browser without the need for download or registration, allowing players to start guessing right away.
