Understand the basics of Hangman
Open Hangman, check the instructions and begin a round. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Give this approach a try
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
What the game asks you to do

Input guidance
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
