Hangman is a popular spelling guessing game that could also be played over the phone.

To play hangman as a texting game, one of the players (the host) will choose a secret word, then the other player (the challenger) will try to guess the word by asking what letters it contains.

Each wrong guess brings the guesser closer to a loss.

Here’s why, for every wrong guess, the host draws a hangman. Typically by seven wrong guesses, the man is hanged.

Rules

• The host selects a secret word and tells the challenger how many letters make up the word.
• The host draws a hanger (1) and then blank lines for each letter (_ _ _ _ _ _)
• The challenger starts guessing the letters
• If the challenger guesses a letter correctly, the host will write it in the correct space
• For the first wrong guess, the host will draw a small circle for the “head.”
• For the second wrong guess, the host will draw a line down from the bottom of the head for a neck
• For the third wrong guess, the host will draw an arm
• For the fourth wrong guess, the host will draw the other arm
• For the fifth wrong guess, the host will draw a line for the body
• For the sixth wrong guess, the host will draw a diagonal line from the end of the body for the first leg.
• For the seventh guess, the host will draw the other leg, which means the man is hanged and the challenger has lost the game.
• The host cannot change the word mid-game.

For example,

• If the host selects “HOME” as the word
• He will tell the challenger it is a four-letter word: _ _ _ _
• Now the challenger must guess the correct four letters
