 DESCRIPTION : |
 |
Hangman is a paper and pencil guessing game
for two players. One player thinks of a word and the other tries to
guess it by suggesting letters.
The word to guess is represented by a row of dashes, giving the number
of letters. If the guessing player suggests a letter which occurs in the
word, the other player writes it in all its correct positions. If the
suggested letter does not occur in the word, the other player draws one
element of the hangman diagram. The game is over when:
* the guessing player completes the
word, or guesses the whole word correctly
* the other player completes the diagram

HISTORY : |
| |
"The origins of Hangman are obscure, but it
seems to have arisen in Victorian times," says Tony Augarde, author of
"The Oxford Guide to Word Games" (Oxford University Press).
The game is mentioned in Alice Bertha Gomme's "Traditional Games" in
1894 under the name "Birds, Beasts and Fishes." The rules are simple; a
player writes down the first and last letters of a word for an animal,
and the other player guesses the letters in between.
In other sources the game is called "Gallows" or "The Game of Hanging".
