Hangman: instructions and practice
Open Hangman, check the instructions and begin a round. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Practice with a purpose
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
