Hangman in Just One More, Between Classes

How to play Hangman

The chalkboard classic from the back of the classroom. Guess the word one letter at a time before the little chalk man is finished - or write your own word and pass the phone to a friend.

  1. Guess the Hidden Word

    A secret word hides behind chalk blanks on the board. Tap letters on the keyboard - every letter in the word writes itself into place.

  2. Misses Draw the Chalk Man

    Every wrong letter chalks in one more stroke of the drawing: the gallows, then head, body, arms and legs. When the little chalk man is complete, the round is lost.

  3. Read the Topic Hint

    Solo rounds write the word's topic in the corner of the board - ANIMALS, SPACE, MUSIC and more. Let it steer your first guesses, and start with common vowels.

  4. Or Pass the Chalk

    Pick Friend on the splash screen to play two-player: Player 1 writes a secret word, then hands the phone over for Player 2 to guess. No peeking.

  5. Keep the Streak Alive

    Each solo word you solve grows your streak. A finished chalk man resets it - though he always lands somewhere soft.

Four difficulty levels

Every level keeps its own streak, best and high score, so climbing costs you nothing.

Easy
Friendly words, and the gallows must be built first. Ten misses before the chalk man is done.
Medium
The schoolyard classic: everyday words and six wrong guesses.
Hard
Trickier vocabulary, and both arms chalk in at once. Five misses is all you get.
Very Hard
Rare words full of J, Q and Z, and just four misses. The chalk barely touches the board.

Hangman plays completely offline

Every round of Hangman is generated, played and saved on your own device. There is no account, no sync and no server to reach, so it works the same on a plane, in a tunnel or with the phone in airplane mode.

Questions about Hangman

Does Hangman work without internet?

Yes. Hangman generates every round on your device and saves your progress there too, so it plays exactly the same on a plane, on the underground or with the phone in airplane mode. Nothing in Just One More needs a connection.

How hard does Hangman get?

There are four levels. Easy is "Friendly words, and the gallows must be built first. Ten misses before the chalk man is done." Very Hard is "Rare words full of J, Q and Z, and just four misses. The chalk barely touches the board." Your streak, best and high score are tracked separately for each level, so moving up never costs you what you earned lower down.

Can two people play Hangman on one phone?

Yes. Hangman offers pass-and-play alongside the bot, so two people can share one device and alternate turns. Personal stat chips are hidden in that mode, because a shared board is nobody's streak.

Is Hangman free?

Yes. Hangman and the other 68 games in Just One More are free to play and ad supported, with an optional one-time Remove Ads purchase. No game, level or difficulty is locked behind a payment.
