Hangman is based on the popular word guessing game by the same name. The player guesses letters in order to uncover the hidden word. But be careful, you only have a few guesses before you're hanged!

Unlike other versions of Hangman, this one gives the player a few more guesses by building up the gallows as the player guesses, instead of having them pre-built.

Now with the feature to view a definition of the word at the end of each game.

Hangman includes small, unobtrusive ads to help keep it free.

MobilityWare’s version stands out in a crowded field

by Jeff Merron , Macworld.com

Hangman is one of the first word games many children learn: the rules are few and simple, and the game—which, in its original pen-and-paper version, is usually a two-player affair—grows along with your (and your opponents’) vocabulary. Another attraction may be that it’s usually not too difficult to win, and when you win, your opponent doesn’t really lose. They just haven’t chosen a challenging enough word for you to solve.
