Play Hangman Duel

  • The game has two rounds. In round one, Player 1 secretly sets a word of 3 to 12 letters (letters only) and Player 2 guesses.
  • The guesser picks one letter at a time. Correct letters are filled in everywhere they appear. Wrong letters count as a miss.
  • The guesser is allowed 8 misses. The round ends when the word is solved or the eighth miss is made.
  • In round two, the roles swap.
  • The secret word is kept on our server, not in the guesser’s browser, until the round ends.

Winning

After both rounds, the player who made fewer misses wins. An unsolved word counts as 9 misses. Equal misses is a draw.
