How to use
Choose a word length and difficulty, then select Next word. The result shows one blank for each letter. Select Show answer when only the host can see the screen. Copy word is available while the answer is shown. Hide answer conceals it again; Next word always starts hidden.
Simple Hangman rules
The host writes one blank for each letter. Players guess a letter at a time; reveal every matching position for a correct guess. Count an incorrect guess toward an agreed limit, such as six misses. Players win by completing the word before reaching that limit. This page supplies words, without tracking guesses or scores.
Example: an eight-letter round
For “elephant,” write eight blanks. A guess of E reveals the first and third letters: E _ E _ _ _ _ _. With Easy and 8 letters selected, you may receive elephant or another matching word. Keep the host’s screen away from the guessers.
Does a longer word mean a harder game?
No. A familiar long word such as elephant can be easier than quiz. Easy favors recognizable everyday objects and animals; Medium uses other everyday words; Hard includes less common letter patterns and letters such as Q, X, Z or J. These are editorial estimates, not vocabulary or age standards.
Will words repeat in the same round?
With the same filters, each matching word is used once before the pool starts over. The status tells you when a new cycle begins. Changing either filter or reloading starts a fresh round. If only one word matches, it will repeat on the next turn.
Which words are included?
A small, manually curated English collection of single words with 3–12 letters. There are no phrases, proper names or definitions. If a length and difficulty have no match, broaden either filter. Generation stays on your device.
