## What is Hangman?

Hangman is based on the popular word guessing game by the same name. The player guesses letters in order to uncover the hidden word. But be careful, you only have a few guesses before you're hanged!

Two player mode allows you and a friend to play. One person enters a word and the other tries to guess it.

Purchase more wordlists to play with from within the app.

Define a word if you don't understand it, and help yourself or your children learn new words.

Keep track of your wins / losses, and how many games you've played.

Hangman includes small, unobtrusive ads to help keep it free. Advertising can be removed for a small one-time fee. Even if you remove Hangman and download it again in the future you can restore your purchases for no extra cost and remove advertising again.

### 4/5 — Good but…..

*2026-04-30, version 3.0.0*

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

### 3/5 — New Stick Figure is annoying

*2026-04-22, version 3.0.0*

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

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-06-30, version 2.0.6*

Great one, easy to install, no ads, just gameplay

### 4/5 — Ok.

*2025-01-29, version 2.0.6*

Whenever I try to open the app it takes me back to my Homescreen. Any Fixes?

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-07-11, version 2.0.6*

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

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2024-06-17, version 2.0.6*

It’s ok, but it crashes after 3 or 4 words. 
Very frustrating!

### 4/5 — Absolutely amazing (besides the glitch)

*2024-05-01, version 2.0.6*

The game is super fun! I play by myself and my family all the time and we all love it! Especially when we are bored and it’s super stimulating. There is just one concern I have, and that is the glitch that keeps kicking me out of the game in the middle of playing. It refreshes the app and resets my progress when I go back in. Besides that, this game is perfect.

### 1/5 — This is bad,not recommended

*2024-04-17, version 2.0.6*

I tried to play a single player or anything and the game kicks me out everytime

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET

*2024-03-03, version 2.0.6*

I TRIED TO PLAY THIS IN THE CAR ONE DAY AND IT KICKED ME OFF SO I DELETED IT THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER I TRY TO PLAY IT AGAIN FORGETTING IT KICKED ME OF I DOWNLOADED IT AGAIN AND TRY TO PLAY AND IT KICKS ME OFF THEY NEED TO GET THAT FIXED

### 4/5 — Not working again?

*2023-12-11, version 2.0.6*
