Hangman

The classic word-guessing game online: make a custom word or phrase, share the link, and the group guesses letter by letter before the drawing is finished.

How to play

On the create page, type any word or phrase and you get a shareable link. Send it to the group (or show it on a shared screen) and players call out letters one at a time — each wrong guess adds a piece to the hangman, and the goal is to guess the word before the drawing is complete.

Best for a quick, low-prep warm-up with a classroom or small group of about 2–10: one person sets the word and everyone else guesses together. There are also 30+ themed word lists if you would rather just hit play with random words.

Tip: pick words tied to your group — a lesson topic, a team in-joke, or the day’s theme — and give a category hint up front to keep it fair.
