Hangman is a classic word-guessing game that challenges players to unveil a hidden word by guessing individual letters. The game typically involves a gallows and a blank space representing each letter of the word. Players attempt to guess letters, and for each incorrect guess, a part of a hangman figure is drawn. The objective is to guess the word before completing the entire hangman figure.

The game is simplicity lies in its fundamental mechanics—guessing letters to reveal a mystery word. This simplicity, however, belies the strategic thinking required to succeed. Players must strategically choose letters based on common word patterns, language knowledge, and deduction.
