An introduction to playing Hangman
Start Hangman by looking at the playing area and its controls. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
An idea for your next attempt
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
