Try to guess the hidden word, one letter at a time -- if you guess right, nothing happens; if you guess wrong, another piece of the hanged man appears. Too many wrong guesses, and you'll be swinging from the gallows pole!
In a two-player game, both players can either guess the same word or different words, or they can each enter a word for the other player to solve. The game also allows a player to create a custom word list, which can be used immediately, or saved to cassette for later use.
