About Captain Hangman
A plank over the open sea is your stage, and a pirate captain wants to see how good you are with words. Captain Hangman is a hangman-style guessing game: a secret word stays covered, and you uncover it with one guess after another.
Every wrong guess edges you toward the water, while each correct letter pulls you back from the edge. The pirate theme gives the old pencil-and-paper classic a bit of drama. It is quick, family friendly and easy to pick up, and it works with a tap on a phone or a click on a computer.
