Enter each word or phrase you want to include in your puzzle on a new line. You can add a hint for each word or phrase on a new line as well. After you click "Create It!", you will receive a link that will open up the puzzles one at a time so the user can solve them in sequence.
Welcome to our holiday take on the classic hangman game. You've got to guess the word to save the melting snowman. In this version, every incorrect guess melts part of our snowman, but now there’s a new twist: you can create and share your own puzzles!
The rules are simple. The hangman game will generate a puzzle from our database of hangman words, or you can enter your own custom words and phrases. You can even add hints to each puzzle to make it easier (or harder) for your friends! Each word you enter will become its own separate puzzle, and if you enter multiple words, they will be displayed as a sequence of puzzles that the player can solve one by one.
Once you’ve created your custom puzzles, the system will generate a unique link that you can copy and share. Simply paste it into an email, text message, or your favorite communication tool to challenge a friend remotely. This link will guide them through your series of puzzles in the exact order you set up.
If you’re playing in person, it’s even easier! Simply enter your custom words and click “Create It.” The puzzle will display on the screen immediately, and you can hand the device to someone else for their turn. This makes the “Pass and Play” mode perfect for in-classroom use, family gatherings, or fun with friends—no need to print or create separate files!
For educators, you can also copy the link and paste it into a PowerPoint slide or a Word document to include as part of a lesson plan or activity. To do this, highlight the link text, right-click, and select "Copy". Then, switch to PowerPoint or Word, right-click again, and select "Paste". The link will be active, so students can click on it directly during your presentation.
