## What is Hang'em?

Hang'em is a word game based on the classic paper and pencil Hangman game. We've added points for every letter to make things more interesting. 

We have also added another game option called "Stump a Friend". Choose this option to enter your own phrase and have you friend try and guess it. 

Single Game:
* Categories are selected randomly (Animals, Countries, Food, Geography, Movies, Music, Random, Science, Sports).
* Each letter is worth 10 points. 
* Each missed letter adds a body part.
* Each phrase you clear, you get a body part back.
* Six missed letters and the game is over!

Stump a Friend:
* Enter a phrase or phrases
* Give the phone to a friend. Give the friend a hint if you like.

Good luck!
