Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How do you play the Hangman game?

To play, try to guess the secret word by clicking letter keys or typing on your keyboard. For each incorrect guess, a part of the monkey drawing is revealed. You win if you guess all the letters in the word before the monkey is completely drawn, and lose if you run out of attempts.

Q Can I play using both mouse and keyboard?

Yes! The game is designed to support both on-screen virtual keyboard clicks (perfect for mobile and tablet devices) and physical keyboard typing (ideal for desktop play).

Q How does the custom game sharing feature work?

If you play a custom challenge link shared by a friend, our game decodes the URL parameters locally in your browser. It loads their custom word, category, and hint automatically without requiring server-side storage.

Q How is the score calculated in Hangman?

Your final score starts at 100 and decreases based on the number of incorrect attempts you make. If you choose to reveal a hint during play, your final score is cut in half. Correctly guessing the word quickly yields the highest score!
