About the hangman game
The classic letter-guessing game, ready for a classroom screen. Each word comes with a hint (“Tallest animal, with a very long neck”), and the on-screen keyboard shows which letters you’ve tried. Six wrong guesses complete the drawing.
Use the themed lists, a grade-level spelling list, or type this week’s words to make spelling practice a game.
