Community Insight:
What fun! Easy to play and works every time! Great words to stretch young minds and keep cobwebs out of old ones. So glad we found it.
We actually like this game. It is challenging to figure out which vowel to use, then randomly pick consonants, until we spell the word. We usually get the words right 60% of the time. We would give it five stars, but we were bummed yesterday, when we spelled "relinquish" correctly, and it was misspelled BY THE GAME with a "g," instead of the "q," and our little stick man got hanged. About the comments regarding the words used in the game, we are 47…lol, and our teen daughters don't know some normal words we use, so we don't see anything wrong with the words, nor do we think we would need a clue.
How is family juvenile it's weird we thought it would just be like grandma ,grandpa ,mom, dad in family category it's weird.
The words are words you would never guess. Otherwise it's ok. But we're uninstalling it.
Stupid game. Where are the clues? Not user friendly.
This game is so freaking hard we mean this game is just so hard it uses words that people don't even use anymore! >:(.
It's not bad but we won't spend all day playing it.Why don't you have hints or something to narrow down the topic?Food and drinks could be any word,how could you guess it.
This is a great game and it keeps your mind sharp.
Cute game. Fun game. For kids and adults. It's free. By Master HT.
It is really hard make it easier and we will rate it all 5 stars.
On the two player thing it doesn't even work.
This game is so stupid we thought it would be 2 players so Connor and we could play, but we see that we were wrong.
Hangman is so cool!!! We have everybody wanting to play this game now!! Thank u hangman.
We love this app so much we wrote a song for it! OOHHH we LUV YA, YEAH YEAH we LOVE YA! WHAT? OOHHH we LUV YA, YEAH YEAH we LUV HANGMAN! This game is a great time killer, it lasts us forever before we get bored, it never replays the same word, and the effects are amazing! Don't even think about…get this app right now!!! Yes, right now! Go ahead click the button! Go go go click it!!! Thanks for making this app free.
This game stinks.most of the "words"are'nt even words.by the way gabina1 it has no special efects at all. We downloaded it,it's stupid. It's worth less than free.
We have a new 64 we-pad this game works great.
Its good but it would be better if it gave you more time to figure out the word and if it let you make up your own words.
This app is vary good but we think there should be more catorgries to pick from other than that it is a great app.
We don't really like it because u can't play with other people! And u can't come up with ur own words so we don't recommend it.
Please place the vowels at the top of the page in the hangman game.
Worst ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because we started installing it 25 min ago and it's still downloading!!!!!!!!! OMG.
We luv this hangman it really kewl a lil hard but otherwise we luv it.
We can't believe how great this app is!!! It has a great choice of themes, it passes time, it's fun, it's free, and free in HD quality!!! Get it get it get it!!!!! What are u still reading for?? GET IT!!!! :D.
It's really a lovely game, very funny.
Easy to use. We find ourselves using it more than we would expect waiting for the subway. Not the prettiest interface but we find that we like the simplicity.
Good, classic hangman, reminds us of our school days. Too many short words, which are harder to guess in the allotted trials, but otherwise good gameplay. There is some good competition in this category, though, so we'd recommend trying a few before buying one.
Don't download this app. It says all these huge words and crashes and always says you loses but you usually win. Don't download this app you'll hate it.
Muy bueno aplicacin, simple y lo mejor de todo es que es gratis.
