What's New on The Hangman Game
A short, honest record of every meaningful change to the site, with the newest release on top. Have an idea that belongs on this page next? Tell me on the contact page.
Trust pages and search polish
- New About, Updates and Contact pages: a proper story page about who builds the site, this log, and a contact form that always reaches a person.
- Improved Privacy policy and terms: rewritten in plain English, covering browser storage, online rooms, your rights and the law that applies.
- Improved Search and sharing: clearer page titles and answers to the questions people really search for, friendlier rules for AI search tools, a proper favicon and better share images.
- New Paper setup diagram: the rules guide now shows how to set up a game on paper in four simple pictures.
Sidekicks and a tidier footer
- New A sidekick in every scene: a bird for the stick buddy, a penguin for the snowman, a little UFO for the rocket and a clownfish for the diver.
- New Hint helpers: when you use a hint, the sidekick hops over and holds up the hinted letter, and that letter glows in the word.
- Improved Footer: shorter, sorted into neat rows, with playful hover effects on every link.
Play together
- New Online rooms: create a private room, share a link or 4-letter code, then take turns or race a friend on another device.
- New Daily Hangman: one shared word each day, with a result you can share without spoiling the answer.
- New Classroom page: tips for projectors and smartboards, team play ideas and a gentle drawing by default.
Tools for teachers and parents
- New Custom Hangman maker: paste a spelling list and get a link that plays only those words.
- New Hangman solver: type the pattern and the misses to see matching words and the best next letter.
- New Printable sheets: word list sheets with an answer key, or blank templates for your own words.
Launch
- New The game: classic Hangman with on-screen and physical keyboard, three levels, hints, and the word read aloud after every round.
- New Word lists: eight topic lists, six holiday lists and grade 1 to 5 spelling lists, each with meanings and its own game.
- New Drawings and themes: stick buddy, melting snowman, rocket and diver drawings, plus light, dark and colorful themes.
