What's New in Hangman

3.0.1

May 5, 2026

* New Solve The Word feature - if you know the word, you can now enter it in one go rather than tapping each letter individually. Be careful though, if you enter the wrong word, you'll lose that round. * Fixed some issues, notably any words that had special characters were unsolvable. These should now be resolved.

Good but…..

I love the game but I was doing the Disney word list and I put: W,A,L, and E. But there was a space I guessed all letters but then it told me wall-e, what am I supposed to do if there’s no: - character

New Stick Figure is annoying

New update made the stick figure appear in an annoying way on hard mode. Just do it normally: head, torso, arm, arm, leg, leg

Keeps crashing

I have played this game for years and enjoyed it. For those idiots that hasn’t figured out that easy does not mean easy words but more chances before loosing. My problem is lately it keeps crashing. Please fix

FAQ

What is Hangman?

Hangman is a popular word guessing game where players try to identify a hidden word by guessing letters. You have a limited number of attempts before the game concludes. The game features both single-player and two-player modes for varied gameplay experiences.

How do I play Hangman?

You guess letters one by one to reveal the hidden word. Each incorrect guess brings you closer to losing. The game provides a visual representation of your progress, building the gallows with each mistake. You can also define words you don't understand to learn new vocabulary.

Is Hangman free to play?

The base game is free to play and includes small, unobtrusive ads. You can remove these advertisements permanently with a one-time in-app purchase. This purchase can be restored even if you uninstall and reinstall the app in the future.

Can I play with friends?

Yes, Hangman offers a two-player mode. In this mode, one person enters a word, and the other player attempts to guess it. This allows for direct competition and fun with a friend.

What are the in-app purchases?

In-app purchases allow you to buy additional wordlists to expand your gameplay options. You can also purchase the removal of advertisements for a small one-time fee. These purchases enhance the game experience and offer more content.
