Questions

Hangman Solver FAQ

How does the Hangman Solver work? +
It matches your pattern and known/excluded letters against a large English word list, then ranks the remaining candidates by which letters appear most often — so you always know the best next guess.
Does it work for any word length? +
Yes — just use one underscore per unknown letter, so the pattern length matches the word length.
Is this considered cheating? +
It's meant for practice, solving puzzles you're stuck on, or settling arguments about whether a word is valid — use it however helps you most.
