Hangman is a word-guessing game typically played by two or more players. One player thinks of a word or phrase and writes a series of blank spaces representing each letter. The other player attempts to guess the word by suggesting letters one at a time. For each incorrect guess, a part of a gallows and a stick figure is drawn, representing the player's limited number of attempts. The game continues until the guessing player either correctly identifies the word or the stick figure is fully drawn, indicating a loss. It's a fun way to improve vocabulary and spelling skills.
