How to play Hangman
- Pick your mode: solo, two players on one phone, or online with your group.
- In solo the app draws from 166 French words. In the other modes one player writes the word, at least 4 letters long.
- Call a letter, using the on-screen keyboard or your own.
- Every letter that isn't in the word adds a stroke to the drawing. On the sixth miss, it's over and the word is revealed.
- Accents are ignored: calling E also reveals every É, È and Ê in the word.
Variants
- Six misses is the most common rule, though some tables draw up to ten strokes — the slow-death edition. Bie'air sticks to six: quick and merciful.
- Elsewhere, calling a letter twice costs you a try. Here the letter is simply greyed out — you don't hang for a slip of attention.
Frequently asked questions
- How many wrong guesses do you get?
- Six. Every letter that isn't in the word adds a stroke to the drawing; on the sixth it's over and the word appears.
- Can two people play Hangman remotely?
- Yes. One player picks the word, the other guesses, and both follow the game live from their own phone. You'll need an account and a room shared with the other player.
- Do I need to type accents?
- No. The keyboard only offers unaccented letters, and one letter reveals all of its accented forms — the one moment tonight your spelling gets a pass.
