If you are looking for the best way to solve hangman or Hanging with Friends puzzles there are a few options that you can choose from. This article explores a few expert tips that can help you become a master hangman player.
Hangman is a simple yet addictive game where you get a number of blank spaces that represents word and you have to guess the letters. If you guess a letter that is not in the word puzzle, you have a 'life' deducted from you - a gallows and a stick figure man is drawn one piece at a time. If the stick figure drawing is completed before you solve the puzzle, he hangs and you lose. In Hanging with Friends, it has a somewhat more 'cute' approach in that your character (suspended by balloons over a volcano) eventually falls into the hot lava.
Here are some top tips to help you win at hangman or Hanging With Friends:
Learn the frequencies of letters - There are some letters that are used more than others in normal words. E is the most common vowel and S is the most common consonant. For that reason, guessing these letters can often find you at least one letter from the puzzle. If you learn the word frequencies, you can gradually go down the scale until you find enough letters to make an educated guess.
Find vowels first- Finding the vowels that are in the puzzle is one of the best first steps that you can take to solving the puzzle. This doesn't mean that you have to run through all of the vowels for every single puzzle. Instead, you will run through the vowels until you believe that you have them all. Start with E then move to A, then O, I, and finally U. If you get an E and it's at the end of the puzzle, that means that there is another vowel in the puzzle that is more strategically important and you'll have narrowed down your options from one in five to one in four.
When you have your vowels, think about the reasonable consonants - If you have several words and one is three letters and the last letter of that three-letter word is E, then it might narrow down your choices. 'The' and 'She' are candidates, so you would work from there. Similarly, there are common consonant-vowel combinations which work together such as RE, ER, ED, ES, ING - finding these patterns makes it much easier to guess the entire Hangman or Hanging with Friends puzzle.
Use an online hangman solver - If you are really stumped, then you can use an online hangman solver to help you. This kind of help can be the key to get your mind thinking of words and letters that you might not have thought about otherwise. An online hangman solver works by searching a common dictionary for the letter patterns you have entered, and returning any words that match. By using this sort of help you may get an idea of the types of words that your opponent chooses and it will help you with future games.
