Play Hangman online free
Play classic Hangman online free with a fresh daily word or unlimited games. Reveal five-, six- and seven-letter answers one letter at a time before ten incorrect guesses complete the gallows and stick figure.
How Hangman works
Choose a letter from the alphabet. Every matching letter is revealed wherever it appears in the word, while an incorrect guess adds another part to the Hangman drawing.
Used letters remain visible throughout the round, helping you narrow down the answer without repeating a guess.
The daily Hangman challenge
Signed-in players get one shared daily Hangman word, changing at midnight UTC. Guesses are saved as you make them, and winning the challenge extends your daily Hangman streak.
Unlimited mode uses random words from the larger word bank when you want to play more than once.
Hangman scoring and leaderboards
A perfect daily win earns 6 points. Wins with 1-2 wrong guesses earn 5 points, 3-4 earn 4, 5-6 earn 3, 7-8 earn 2, and 9 wrong guesses earn 1 point.
Daily Hangman rankings favour fewer incorrect guesses. Unlimited wins and losses are recorded in your stats, but only the daily challenge awards points.
