Example :
------
Clue : Retiring batsman
All we need to do is guess word by word, and when the cricketer is in recognizable form - we can guess the full name.
First User Guess's : 'a'
Then the questioner's reply would be a bingo!
_ a _ _ _ _
HANGMAN
Second user's guess : 'Z'
Then the questioner's reply would be, oops!
_ a _ _ _ _
HANGMAN ( striking one chance, 'H' word meaning we only have 7 wrong guesses to find a name )
Third User's guess : Karter? ( some name )
Then the questioner's reply would be,
_ a _ _ _ _
HANGMAN ( striking 2 words 'H' 'A' )
Fourth User's guess : i
Then the questioner's reply,
_a_ _ i _
HANGMAN
Fifth User's guess : Sachin?
Then questioner's reply. Yes tats it.
S A c H I N.
This is the only hangman which i know unless we are referring something else.
We already had a separate thread for this here in never ending forums, but i guess they are all removed now.
