This is version of the classic letter guessing game called Hangman. You are shown a set of blank letters that match a word or phrase and you have to guess what these letters are to reveal the hidden word. You guess by picking letters from those displayed on the sides. If you pick a letter that is in the word, a sound is played and that letter is revealed from the blank letters; however, if you pick a letter that is not in the word, then a stickman is slowly drawn. With each wrong letter guess, the man is drawn more and more. When the man is finished, he is hung and the game is lost. This is why the game is called 'Hangman'. If you can reveal all the letters in the word before the man is hung then you are successful and the full word is revealed along with an image showing the meaning of the word. An audio clip should also play if it has been loaded.

The letters are in 2 sets: vowels appear on the left and the consonants on the right. In order to make the game easier, wrong guesses from vowels do not count as mistakes and do not draw the man. So it is advisable to click on all the vowels first. If you prefer to make thing harder, you can change this setting by clicking on the settings button.

As with other games you can choose the content that you wish to use. There is a content selection screen just before the game starts. It has 30 different sets of content, including things like food, jobs and sports. Some content sets are easier than others - the colors and numbers are really quite simple to guess; alternatively, jobs and garden items are longer and difficult. While each set of content has about 25 items, only 16 are used in any one game. This is to keep the game from getting too long/boring and also to exclude some of the more uncommon items.

There is also an option to review the vocabulary items. At the first screen, if you click on the 'Review' button, then you can select any set of content and scroll through to see each image and see how it is spelt. It is quite hard to learn how to spell a word just from guessing letters and so perhaps it is a good idea to review the items from a set before trying the game.

I hope you have fun playing this game and that you can learn or improve your English at the same time. Leave any comments below.

English Vocabulary

Who was Saint Patrick?

Patrick was born at the end of the fourth century in Britain. When he was 16, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland. He spent six years there before escaping back home and became a priest. Later Patrick returned to Ireland to convert the pagan Irish to Christianity. According to legend, Saint Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to them. He spent many years converting the Pagans which eventually turned in to an allegory in which he drove all of the "snakes" out of Ireland. (Note: Ireland has never had any snakes)

Patrick died on the 17th of March and over the following centuries, many legends grew around Patrick which eventually led him to becoming a saint.

Saint Patrick's Day Celebrations

On St. Patrick's Day, it is customary to wear green clothing and accessories (green is the national color of Ireland). There are many colorful parades around Ireland and other parts of the world and many important buildings are lit with green lighting at night to celebrate the day. In Ireland, a St. Patrick's Festival lasts for around five days which showcases Ireland and its culture with concerts, outdoor theater performances and fireworks.

The largest Saint Patrick's Day parade in the world is held in New York (USA) with around 150,000 participants each time. Also in the United States, the north White House fountain has been dyed green for Saint Patrick's Day every year since 2009. The Chicago River is also dyed green on this day.

Why do people pinch on Saint Patrick's Day?

If you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day then someone may pinch you... or so some people say. You will be interested to know that this is in fact an American tradition, not an Irish one. I confirmed my doubts after asking many people from Ireland and they say they had never heard of this or done it themselves. But why is it done in the US? Supposedly leprechauns pinch people that don't wear green on the 17th of March.
