Puh-lease!

I actually like this game. It is challenging to figure out which vowel to use, then randomly pick consonants, until I spell the word. I usually get the words right 60% of the time. I would give it five stars, but I was bummed yesterday, when I spelled "relinquish" correctly, and it was misspelled BY THE GAME with a "g," instead of the "q," and my little stick man got hanged. About the comments regarding the words used in the game, I am 47...lol, and my teen daughters don't know some normal words I use, so I don't see anything wrong with the words, nor do I think I would need a clue.

Too few chances

The scaffold should indeed be part of the play. I used to play for hours in the Microsoft version without losing. In this version you aren't given enough chances. It isn't a truly classic version.
Perhaps it would be better if you could adjust this in the settings.

Awesome!

What fun! Easy to play and works every time! Great words to stretch young minds and keep cobwebs out of old ones. So glad I found it!

It's ok

You only get 6 wrong attempts before hanging so not very easy especially with lots of short words and the many many alternatives there can be. We've always drawn the scaffold as part of the game on paper and this gives enough of a challenge.

Oh and what is marxisim?! Please check your spellings

Stupid

Stupid game. Where are the clues? Not user friendly.
