A practical guide to Hangman
Take a moment with Hangman before moving to another game. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Practice with a purpose
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Work through an example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.

Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
