Hangman Tips & Strategies

• Start with vowels. Because there are only five vowels in English, their initial guessing can possibly reveal parts of the word. For example, "_A_A_A" can instantly give away "BANANA."
• Use Etaoin Shrdlu. It is a word that lists the most common English letters in order of frequency. After vowels, try letters like E, T, A, O, I, N for good chances.
• Break up words. In multi-word puzzles, attempt to guess a single word at a time. One can open up the others.
• Keep back unusual letters. Letters like J and Z are uncommon but crucial in certain words. Keep them in reserve as the puzzle proceeds.
• Practice on hard words. Learn tough Hangman words like "JAZZ," "PSYCH," and "SYNTH," which omit common vowels and hang numerous players.
