A neat app

I have been using this app for more than 7 years now and I like the clean interface of the game. It has a permanent presence on my home screen and is my go to app whenever I have to wait anywhere.

Bit crap

Bought this for my son. Pointless and ridiculously difficult. No subject matters. Fonts are barely distinguishable. Definitely not worth paying for.

Hangman Pro

I really like this game but there could be a few improvements. The letters are not easy to distinguish. A and R are really difficult to read. I think the the font could be a little more readable. Also when playing hangman the actual scaffold is not used as one go and think that makes the game end too quickly, especially for younger players.

Ok

Maybe I am too stupid to figure it out but would like 2 player where computer picks the words…maybe there is a way for that…should also have a 2 minute time clock.

I agree with dxjager

Great game. Lots of fun, of course thr idea behind hangman is one guesses the word in 8 or 9 tries depending on how the gallows is make and how the man is made. I’ve played hang man where the gallows is 3 wrong answers and the man is 5 wrong answers. This game seems to be the best of those worlds.
My strngth is I read a lot and have a fair idea how words are formed fron prefix & suffix which helps in guessing the right letters even when there is only one wrong guess left.
I chose thr pro version because when I got to 100 games with a 60% win ratio, the game crashed and I had to begin again. I am hoping that that won’t happen with the paid version.
