Guess the hidden word, one letter at a time -- but don't let the hangman catch you! Hangman with hints brings the classic word game to life with a massive English dictionary, rich animations, and an adaptive difficulty system that grows with you. WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL 17,000+ ENGLISH WORDS Our dictionary is built from Google's top 10,000 most commonly used English words, enriched with synonym hints and difficulty scores via AI. Words span 20 categories so you can focus on topics you love or mix them all together. ADAPTIVE DIFFICULTY SYSTEM Start as a Rookie and work your way up to Champion across 5 named levels. The game automatically adjusts word difficulty based on your performance -- win 3 rounds in a row and you'll advance. Face a game over and you'll be gently demoted so the challenge always fits your skill. THREE-TIER HINT SYSTEM Every word comes with a free basic hint. Need more help? Unlock up to 3 synonym clues at increasing point costs. Long-press any hint to hear it read aloud with text-to-speech, or enable automatic hint reading in Settings. TWO-PLAYER MODE Challenge a friend on the same device. Players take turns guessing -- get it wrong and the turn passes. Individual scores and round wins are tracked so you can settle who's the real wordsmith. GAME SAVE & CONTINUE Life happens. Your game automatically saves so you can pick up exactly where you left off -- same word, same guesses, same lives. REWARDING SCORING SYSTEM Earn points for every correct letter, scaled by word difficulty. Hints and wrong guesses cost you points, so every decision matters. Your best session score is permanently recorded and displayed as a badge when you beat it. 3 LIVES SURVIVAL MODE You have 3 hearts per session. Lose one for each failed word. When all hearts fade -- it's game over and your difficulty drops. Pace yourself and play smart. RICH VISUALS & ANIMATIONS The gallows are hand-drawn in SVG and animated frame-by-frame. Body parts drop with a bounce on wrong guesses. On a full hangman, watch the X eyes appear, the figure swing endlessly, and blood drips fall. Win and you're rewarded with confetti showers, fireworks, and a glowing trophy. FULL CUSTOMISATION - Dark and Light themes - QWERTY or Alphabetical keyboard layout - Sound effects (6 unique MP3 tracks) with volume control - Haptic feedback toggle - Text-to-speech reading for hints and words - 20 word categories -- pick one, a few, or play all ACCESSIBILITY Full screen reader support.
