Hangman Game Solver

The game called HangMan is a 2 player (or more) word game. One player selects a word from the dictionary, and the other (or others) should find it out by suggesting letters of the alphabet. If the proposed letter is in the word, then its position is revealed. The guessing player is allowed N errors (usually 8 or 10), and in the classic version of the game, the first player draws, for each incorrect guess, part of a character attached to a gallows. When the drawing is complete (after N portions of drawings corresponding to the N errors) the player loses.

To win at the game hangman (or HangMan), the optimal strategy is to give the most frequent letters based on those already found.

dCode calculates, with this hangman help/cheat tool/solver, statistics about letters the most frequently uses in possible words and suggest the most probable, ie. the optimal one.

By default, when playing a hangman game, when a player guesses a letter, then if the word contains several copies of this letter, then they are all revealed to him. A classic variant is not to reveal them all, but only one per proposal.

In English, based on the frequency analysis of the letters, the letter E is the most frequent for any game up to 20 letters. For the words of lengths that are superior to 20 letters, try E or S to start.

The software will propose optimal letters for a game, and check how many tentative word are wrong with this optimal technique.

In the game, the more detailed the gallow and the character, the more the player has the right to make mistakes.

Most often the drawing has 10 elements: the gallows is cut into 4 elements: 1 base, 1 vertical pole, 1 horizontal bar, then a rope, and finally a character generally broken down into 6: head, body, left arm, right arm, left foot, right foot.
