Hangman is a classic game: a word is hidden and you have to uncover it letter by letter. If the letter is in the word, it appears in its place; if not, a part of the drawing is added. You get six mistakes: if the drawing is completed, you lose.
Choose how many letters the word has: 4, 5, 6 or 7.
Tap a letter on the keyboard, or type it on your computer keyboard.
If you guess right, the letter fills in every place where it appears.
If you guess wrong, you get a mistake and another part of the drawing appears.
You win by completing the word before the sixth mistake.
Tips to win
Start with the most common letters. In the 4 to 7 letter words of Wordly, E (58%), S (43%), A (43%), R (40%) are the letters that show up most.
Then try R (40%), I (35%), N and T (31% each).
Look at the length of the word. Longer words tend to have more vowels.
Think about endings. Many words end in -S, -ED, -ER or -ING, so an S or an E at the end are good bets.
Leave rare letters for last: Q, Z, J and X show up in under 2% of words.
