Hangman Game Strategies

The most common used English letter is 'e' so you better start by guessing it. The 4 other vowels ('a', 'o', 'i', 'u') are next popular after 'e'. The other most commonly used letters are 't', 'n', 's', 'h', 'r', 'd' and 'l'.
Using these letter can give you better odds for guessing the word, but they can also decrease the level of fun while playing and not necessarily will help you win, words that are less common like "rhythm" don't qualify for this strategy.

About Hangman Games

Hangman is used often by teachers to practice spelling, vocabulary and just for fun. The most popular way to play hangman games offline is to draw blank letters for the chosen word on a paper or on the blackboard and let the players guess the letters. For each incorrect guess, another part of the man is drawn. If the picture is complete before the word is revealed the hangman game is lost and the character is hanged, if the word is revealed before the execution the game is won.

Other Game Variations

Over the years many version of the game were produced, there are hangman games with themes where the hidden word is only from a specific category (such as animals, occupations, countries...), there is the hangaroo version where you hang-a-roo instead of a man, and there are time-limited versions where you have limited time to guess each letter, making the game more extreme. But the most popular version is still the multiplayer hangman where one player enters the word an the other player tries to guess it
