Questions
Word setter: Keep your word secret until the hangman is complete. Guesser: Discover the word before running out of guesses. Guesser wins by completing the word before the hangman is fully drawn. Setter wins if the hangman is completed first.

Start with common vowels: E, A, I, O, U appear in most words. Follow with common consonants: R, S, T, L, N are frequent in English. Look at word patterns - double letters and common endings (-ING, -TION, -ED).
Hangman's origins are unclear, but it has been played since at least the Victorian era. The 'hanging' theme, while morbid, has kept the game memorable for generations of children.
