Hangman is a classic word-guessing game where one player thinks of a word, and the other player attempts to guess it by suggesting letters within a limited number of incorrect guesses. The game visually depicts the gallows and hangman figure, with each wrong guess adding a part to the figure until the game ends in either a win or a loss.
