Welcome to Hangman at The Problem Site. This online word game provides the traditional fun of a hangman game with an extensive vocabulary list. In addition, the site provides an option to look up words, because some of the words used are obscure, archaic, or rarely used.

Customize your Hangman experience by selecting options above. You can choose the length of words, and you can also choose the speed of the gallows animation. Slower mobile devices will probably benefit from higher speed animation.
