Guess the hidden word one letter at a time. Choose Basic, Intermediate or Advanced.
Hangman is a classic word game that works well for vocabulary. Every word has a clue, and after each round you see the correct word.
Press a letter on the screen, or type it on your keyboard. A correct letter appears in the word. A wrong letter adds one part to the drawing. Find the whole word before the drawing is complete, then press “Next word”. Each word appears once before the list repeats.
Practise with pen and paper as well. Writing out your working helps you remember each method.
Maths has its own words, and knowing them makes questions easier to read. In Hangman you meet each word through a clue (its meaning) and a length (how many letters it has). You can lose only 6 times in each word, so smart guessing matters.
Clue: "A shape with three sides (8 letters)". The word has 8 letters. TRIANGLE fits: T-R-I-A-N-G-L-E.
PERIMETER has 9 letters and the letter E three times. Guessing E first shows three letters at once: PERIMETER.
"Peri" means around and "metre" is about measuring, so perimeter is the measure around a shape. "Tri" means three, so triangle and trigonometry both link to three angles.
