Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
Can I type my own word list?
Yes. Choose Custom and paste at least two words, one per line or with commas. The list stays in this browser.
Is this Hangman with a stick figure?
It uses the familiar hidden-word guessing format. Incorrect guesses cost hearts, and no hanging figure appears.
Is this Wordle?
No. The class guesses one letter or written character at a time to fill blanks, not a five-letter color grid.
Do students need devices?
No. Students suggest letters or characters while one shared display stays in view.
Can I enter accented or non-Latin characters?
Yes. Use the on-screen keyboard where available, or enter one letter or character in the guess box. Custom lists accept Unicode words in the page language.
