Build Hangman Game – Classic Word Puzzle UI

The Hangman Game is a classic word guessing puzzle built using HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. Players attempt to guess a hidden word letter by letter while avoiding too many incorrect guesses that complete the hangman figure.

This project combines simple game logic with an interactive UI to create an engaging browser-based experience. It is ideal for developers looking to practice DOM manipulation, event handling, and dynamic UI updates using pure frontend technologies.

How to Play

  • A random word is selected and hidden from the player
  • Guess letters one at a time using the keyboard
  • Correct guesses reveal the letter positions in the word
  • Incorrect guesses draw parts of the hangman figure
  • Win by guessing the full word before the figure is complete
  • Lose if the hangman drawing is fully completed
