Making your first moves in Hangman
Take a moment with Hangman before moving to another game. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
Try a more deliberate round
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.

See the idea in action
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Check this before moving on
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
