How to Play
Hangman is a word-guessing puzzle. Guess letters one at a time to reveal a hidden word. Correct letters appear in place; wrong guesses add to the hangman drawing.
Solve the word before six wrong guesses to win. The word list is small and deliberate: fifteen programming and technology terms ranging from five to eleven letters, all uppercase — things like REACT, GAMING, ALGORITHM, DATABASE, FRAMEWORK and PROGRAMMING.
Because the pool is only fifteen words and the theme is fixed, this version rewards pattern recognition over vocabulary breadth. After two or three letters you are usually choosing between a handful of known candidates, not guessing blindly.
Controls
- Click letter — Guess that letter
- Restart — New random word
Tips & Tricks
- 1Start with common vowels: E, A, O, I
- 2Try T, N, S, R after vowels for English words
- 3Use word length and revealed letters to spot patterns
- 4Avoid rare letters until you have strong context
- 5Every word here is a tech term, so letters like Q, X and Z are almost never worth one of your six guesses
- 6PROGRAMMING at 11 letters is the longest in the pool — if the board shows 11 blanks, you already know the answer
- 7With only six wrong guesses, a bad opening letter costs you a sixth of your budget, so lead with E or A rather than an unusual consonant
Frequently Asked Questions
How many wrong guesses allowed?
Six incorrect letters end the game.
Are words case sensitive?
All words are uppercase English letters, and the on-screen keyboard handles casing for you.
How many words are in the pool?
Fifteen, all drawn from programming and technology vocabulary.
How long are the words?
Between five and eleven letters.
Can I guess the whole word?
No. The game is letter-by-letter — you pick from the on-screen keyboard until the word is revealed or you run out of guesses.
Does the same word repeat?
Words are picked at random, so repeats are possible. Restart if you want a fresh draw.
