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. ### 3/5 — Too few chances *2014-05-11, version 1.8* 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. ### 3/5 — It's ok *2013-11-19, version 1.8* 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 ### 3/5 — Haha! *2012-11-01, version 1.8* Not how you spell 'does' or 'buy'... I don't think it's the fault of the game that you keep losing ;-) ### 3/5 — Ok. VERO-girl *2012-10-14, version 1.8* How is family juvenile it's weird I thought it would just be like grandma ,grandpa ,mom, dad in family category it's weird ### 2/5 — Erm.... *2012-10-04, version 1.8* That's not how you spell does ted, maybe that's why you keep losing? ### 3/5 — Ok *2012-09-27, version 1.8* Who comes up with these words? ### 2/5 — Hangman Classic HD Free *2012-06-29, version 1.8* The words are words you would never guess. Otherwise it's ok. But I'm uninstalling it. ### 4/5 — Good game *2012-05-15, version 1.8* Its a fun game ### 4/5 — It does the job *2012-04-09, version 1.8* A fun, simple app that does just what it advertises. ### 2/5 — Really hard *2011-11-19, version 1.7* It is really hard make it easier and I will rate it all 5 stars ### 4/5 — Fun Classic *2011-11-06, version 1.7* Cute game. Fun game. For kids and adults. It's free. By Master HT ### 2/5 — Terrible *2011-05-31, version 1.6* This app is terrible. You can't even make up your own hangman with yr fiends. When u start u have no idea what is gong on. U can try it as it is quick to download as u may like it. I would advise you to download it and try it to see what u think ### 4/5 — good but not great *2011-04-10, version 1.5* its good but it would be better if it gave you more time to figure out the word and if it let you make up your own words. ### 2/5 — No! *2011-03-23, version 1.5* I don't really like it because u can't play with other people! And u can't come up with ur own words so I don't recommend it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid *2013-10-23, version 1.8* Stupid game. Where are the clues?
