An excellent version of the standard word game for one or two players.

The computer selects a word at random out of a vast selection. If you guess the word in time you score a point; if you fail you lose a life. When you have lost three lives, the game is over. The computer adjusts your skill level depending on how many guesses are taken for each word.

There are three levels of help - one gives the first letter, two gives a random letter and three gives no help at all. No help means just that, and it is possible to hang the man by simply pressing the same wrong letter over and over.

There is an option to play with the timer on. With this you have a 30-second time limit to guess each word.
